Beirette SL200 Kelly Motor Trucks Sign 1913
In December 2013, a very old-looking sign for Kelly Motor Trucks was unearthed at a construction site near Eleventh Street and Grand Avenue; a tipster sent along these photos, along with an article from 1913 announcing that one Frank G. Miner had decided "upon the establishment of a factory branch of the Kelly-Springfield Motor Truck company in Los Angeles." (We found an LA Times article from April 1913, "[s]hortly after opening."
I'm not sure if they finished painting over it but there are condos right up against it now.
