Just received the awesome 2016 Monon calendar. Good stuff!
i would like to throw out a comment regarding the photo for October. While the name on the roof may have been for the benefit of the passengers, I suspect it was actually an early aviation navigational aid. Here is some info I copied off the web:
"For six years, demonstration and race pilot Blanche Noyes had ridden herd on a government program that called for navigation markers to be placed on building rooftops to help pilots find their way from one town to another. By 1941, some 13,000 marks had been painted on barns, hangars, skyscrapers, oil tanks, and train stations. Now, in January 1942, on the heels of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Civil Aeronautics Administration, goaded by the War Department, directed that all air markers near both coasts be obliterated."
