Richard Elgin Miller, a Canadian expatriate who had moved to California in 1878, opened the first Owl Drug Store in San Francisco in 1892. One of his objectives was to establish a cut price chain of drug stores and within a few years he had established a number of similar stores in Los Angeles and Oakland and was well on his way to creating a West Coast drug business of some note. He was doing it in style, too, because of the branding he chose. Owl Drug Stores were immediately recognizable not just because of the distinctive Owl logo but also because all the stores were painted a vivid orange.

She reminds me of Lois Lane from Superman serials.
I like the floral print of the dresses from that period.
Two of my favorite '40's girls photos.
Dolores Moran. Pretty lady and pretty scandalous. She would probably have a reality show of her own these days.Vintage Beverly Hills Hotel Neon Sign.

Yes it does. Great coor scheme!
Great pics nonetheless! Thanks for sharing. Too bad you didn't stop in for an ice cream. Hope your wife's arthritis isn't to bad. I've heard thats not fun.I went with my wife today to visit her arthritis doctor. This is the Dairy Queen in Iowa City, Iowa. Unchanged since it was built in the early '50's. The sign is fully functional. The sorry looking pics are cell phone shots of photos from the past inside the front window. The sun was very bright and created the glare.

We did stop for an ice cream. I had a hot fudge and caramel sundae which I consumed with the gusto of a hound dog.Great pics nonetheless! Thanks for sharing. Too bad you didn't stop in for an ice cream. Hope your wife's arthritis isn't to bad. I've heard thats not fun.

When I see one like that I'm always a little sad that I missed its heyday.Considered putting it in Ghost Signs, but way to much good neon not to post here. View attachment 120000
