Ghost Signs, Fort Smith


While taking a jaunt through the back streets of Fort Smith via streetcar (about which more later), I snapped a few shots of some old, industrial ghost signs. The above advertises the "Atkinsons-Williams Hardware Co." on the side of a building that's likely abandoned. The company evidently "dominated the tinware trade in the region." Another ghost sign after the jump.

 


The "Red Star Product Co." could have been damn near anything. I found a Red Star Machinery Sales in Fort Smith, and they may be related.

  3. The Atkinson-Williams building is not abandoned, it's the Museum of History.
