After more demolition of yet another wall we found this card for Hodes Auto Parts neatly tucked into the paper lining behind the fir lap sheathing. I liked the vintage look of the card and since it too came from an apparently original wall, I guessed that it too would date from 1928 when the house was originally constructed. I did a quick search on the internet later that evening and found a reference to a postcard with an advertisement for Hodes Auto Parts dating to 1928 - Bingo!

Then it occurred to me why the design looked so familiar. The logo I created for my camera design business was intentionally created to have a vintage look and it bears a remarkable resemblance to Hodes' card.
It must be a sign . . .

I placed the logo on a similar card size here to show the resemblance.

In other news, my wife Lisa is beginning her contributions to the Bungaloft section of the Metier blog. Look for the first installment coming soon.
