Here's the Paris Laundry, located in Phoenix,
AZ. When speaking to the owner of this business on 06/01, he told me that
he thought the building was built in 1957, so he figured that the sign
was put up at that time.

This multi-colored sign for the Melody Cleaners uses color to
catch the eye of the passing motorist who may be interested in dry cleaning
service one day.
UPDATE 11/20 : Check out a few additional photos of the Melody Cleaners from 1998.
Maroney's Cleaners

According to an employee, who has been in Phoenix for the last 50 years
and works at Maroney's Cleaners, Viacom owns the building
and leases it to the Maroney's Cleaners. Word is that Viacom wasn't very
good about taking care of the building, and now they are giving Maroney's the boot and will be tearing
the building down.
Maroney's has been in business since 1911. Apparently this building was
built in the early 50's so the sign must date back to about the same time.
The family that owns the Maroney's Cleaners now, bought it in the 50's
from the original family.
Maroney's will now be consolidating the business into one location at
32nd Street and Indian School Road (shown below), which was built in the
late 50's by the 2nd owners.
