Show & Sell #1
the Show N Sell Sign
is the former marquee from the Empire Theater on main Street. When the theater
was torn down, the theater marquee was rescued by Robert and Becky Weiss. The
sign was built in 1954 when the Empire Theater was constructed. The Show N Sell
sign was placed on the roof of the Midtown Plaza on the southwest corner of
Broadway and Second Avenue. As the Empire Marquee the sign was illuminated with
480 incandescent light bulbs. As the Show N Sell sign it is illuminated by two
exterior high intensity lights. The sign was rented by people and businesses
wanting to advertise or announce special events
