Another discount carpet store. This one is in a building from 1945. It is in Leavenworth.
I think the painted DISCOUNT CARPET sign ought to be peeled off and donated to the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati. I do not trust the people of Leavenworth to know how to appreciate and enjoy the sign.
See how the narrow canopy extends onto the older building next door. Do you like that?
This was originally the B & G Motor Company, which is included in a self-published online list of former Edsel dealers. Would you rather have a discount carpet or an Edsel!
Isn't this picture beautifully composed. Nah I'm just kidding, I know it's not.
