I wonder why toy stores use the owl image. There has to be a reason . . .
ReplyDeleteJust came across the signs. Don't know the story behind the name.
DeleteHoot,hoot. Cute.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they intended confusion by using the contraction that means 'who is' instead of 'whose' which means possession? or if their last name is Who?
ReplyDeleteWhatever the reason, these signs are great!
ReplyDeleteso many options! did you go inside?
ReplyDeleteWent through the hobby store, but not the toy and game store. They were about four blocks apart. It was a large, well stocked hobby shop filled with merchandise.
DeleteThe Who's Hobby House sign is from 1951. The name "Who" comes from the initials of the store's founder William H. Osterburg (WHO). The current owner's grandparents bought the business in 1957 and retained the original name and sign, but this location is not original. This info was on their website.
ReplyDeleteClever connection with the founder's name! Especially love the sign with just the owl's eyes peering over it!
ReplyDeleteI like the owl. Great sign.
ReplyDeleteI think it is cute however it is spelled! ;)
ReplyDeletei like the owl, this bird is great symbol.
ReplyDeletefab signs!

Cool.
ReplyDeleteWho's in on the conspiracy.
ReplyDeleteGreat name story - if you hadn't mentioned what it meant I would have just thought it was another weird and random business decision!! But what do the lights look like at night??
ReplyDeleteWho's on first?
ReplyDeleteBud Abbott and Lou Costello would have had a ball with this sign.
who house, so cute!
ReplyDeleteWHO must have been quite the entrepreneur. Love that first sign!
