The J.J. Newberry Co. store in Oswego, NY is classic 50's style script neon. The facade's color is also reminiscent of the mid-century era.

My first thought was of Kresge's but closer inspection proved it to be a former Woolworth's with a facade that was totally intact from at least the 1950s. Norwich was a neat tightly packed downtown built on a hill side overlooking a lake.

This Woolworth's is located on Franklin Square. 08-13
