While taking lunch this past Saturday I noticed that an old building downtown was undergoing a bit of remodeling. The facade above the storefront was completely ripped out, and revealed for the first time (probably in several years) were the remnants of old signage. Judging from the art deco-style typeface, I would guess it to be from the 1930's or 40's.
As I recall, "Adam Hats" was a popular brand in the first half of the 20th century. Though I am having trouble determining if they indeed had their own retail shop in SF at one time, the typeface is identical to an old ad for Adam that I found from the 1940's.
In any case, I just thought that was interesting...-M
