Title: Bloch Bros (where was this business located?)
Post by: jay on January 23, 2009, 06:12:44 AM
I noticed this Bloch Bros sign on the building next to the demolished State Theater.  The sign was probably hidden for decades.

Does anyone have information about Bloch Bros Wholesale?
Where was the store located?
What did it sell?

I plan to take a better photo of the sign once the demolition equipment has been removed.

Another photo of the sign

Notice the advertisement for bread at the bottom of the Bloch Brothers sign.
