West Bearing & Parts

The West Bearing & Parts sign, although admittedly not nearly as old as many in the area, is weathering fairly well. West Bearing has been in business since 1921 but if I had to date this sign I'd put it at the 1940s or 1950s. But while the sign is still in pretty decent shape, I fear for its future because I suspect the building itself will not last much longer. So my advice is go down to NW12th and Flanders and see it while you can.
