A bit more on the Chicago sign – it was my grandfather, Nathan Sitkoff who started his own sign company called Paragon Sign Company and worked with Whiteway Company owned by Tom Flannery. Grandpa made the signs and Tom Flannery’s company maintained the signs. He also made the Rialto sign, the State and Lake sign, and a sign for a bowling alley that the bowlers arm and ball moved, among others. This is what was told to me by my dad the other day when I told him I was going to be visiting Chicago in July with a group of teachers. Can’t seem to find any documentation on the Internet but my search has just begun. Anyone have any specifics?
Thanks.
