Southern Pacific Hospital Sign
From: "Gary S" jedistitch@sbcglobal.net
I picked this sign up at an antique shop in San Pedro yesterday. I was told, that there was no Southern Pacific Hospital. But that the painters in the sign shop made this one and hung it in the shop, as a joke, owing to a number of accidents happening in a short time. It is certainly old, and hand painted. Can anyone give credence to the origin of this sign, as it was told to me, or otherwise. Or perhaps it may appear in an old photo of one of the shops. Also, your web site is amazing. The amount of information on a single page is almost overwhelming. I can't wait to find the time to look at it in depth. Thanks for any info you may have on the sign. ...
