Note how they installed it up the back of the cabinet.  Carpet installers just aren’t that motivated these days.

These were available to view for only a short time during the renovation of a small building for the new Green Pig Pub.  Construction uncovered several generations of signage that had been hidden by awnings.  Notice the faded “Cleaning” sign and the really cool font on “Larch Tire Service”.
