| Mayfield Electric & Water Systems [gone] Mayfield, KY |
|
 |
 |
| Mayfield Electric & Water Systems still provides power supplied by the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority). This sign was installed in 1955. It stopped working in the 1960s. In 2010, just a few months after these photos were taken, this sign was restored with LED bulbs. In 2021, the building, sign, and much of the city was destroyed by a tornado. |
| J.C. Everett Co. Maysville, KY |
Sherwin-Williams Paints [gone] Maysville, KY |
Charlie's Steak House [gone] Oak Grove, KY |
 |
 |
 |
|
J.C. Everett Co. is now known as Everett's Ace Hardware. They have been here since 1896. [map]
The Sherwin-Williams Paints sign remained for years although there was no paint store there below. This sign was probably mass-produced but this was the only one that I know of to still exist. The sign was still there in 2014 but gone by 2018. Charlie's Steak House had been here since at least the 1960s. The rooftop sign was repainted just before this photo was taken in 2010. In 2011, the place was destroyed by a fire. By 2013, the building and sign were gone. For more, see this website. |

 |
|
I believe the Raines Shoe Hospital had been here since 1946. The store closed in 2016. By 2019, the sign was gone.
The International Order of Odd Fellows sign is probably from the 1940s or 1950s. [map] |

Owen Cleaners was founded in 1920 and grew to around six locations in town. This location closed around 2019 and the sign has been removed. This sign was probably from the 1960s.
The Paducah Beauty School sign appears to be from the 1940s or 1950s. The store closed in 2020. The sign was gone by 2022. For more, see this website. |

| The Crowell Pools & Spa sign was built around 2006 when this business moved to this location. [map] |

 |
| Kirchoff's Bakery was established in 1873 and closed in 1957. It reopened in 1997 as Kirchhoff's Bakery and Deli. These stainless steel letters are probably from the 1940s. They were probably outlined with neon originally. [map] |
