I got a chuckle out of these signs this morning. As far as you know, are they legit or meant to be funny?
ReplyDeleteWe have something like that here in Indiana. I wonder if the names are supposed to be funny, too.
ReplyDeleteEd and Ma, these signs are the original names of the stores in these very buildings in Juneous, SD. The buildings have been moved a few miles to Prairie Village. The Coal company name has appeared in Ripley's Believe It, Or Not column years ago. The Gross family still maintains the General Store. No humor was intended, but they are still funny names.
DeleteReminds me of the legal team at Car Talk: Dewey, Cheetham & Howe
ReplyDeleteYes, that occurred to me too. I listen to Car Talk if I'm not off working somewhere.
DeleteNice stores, lovely benches!
ReplyDeleteI think they had a good sense of humour in pioneer days!
ReplyDeleteNames can cause a problem. My maiden name was Rude. I love the buildings, so trim and neat!
ReplyDeleteGross grocery store - love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat names and it's great that the buildings were preserved.
ReplyDeletePrairie Village has a town "Main Street" with historical buildings from the area. There must be a dozen 19th Century town buildings saved for the future. It is a kind of living museum that comes alive during their Old Thrashers Festival every August.
DeleteWay to make me smile! Great captures! Really like that screen door on the first building.

These two buildings look like cousins.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! Click and Clack on NPR always said that their attorneys were Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe!
ReplyDeleteInteresting
ReplyDeleteYou found a couple of classics.
ReplyDeleteI bet the Gross family got a little tired of the jokes.
ReplyDeleteThat first building has an interesting placement of the door and window, too.
Simple stores with unimaginative names (at the time, anyway!)
