Some information

Operated in the 1920s

The business was operated by brothers Hyman and Morris Bloch.  One lived on S. Maryland.  The other lived on S. Portland.

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.
