Description
Photograph was edited for publication purposes
Photograph caption dated April 23, 1957 reads, "Confued [sic] sign painter apparently thought he was in Massachusetts when he did lettering for sign at right. Correct spelling of North Hollywood street is at left. Sign painter isn't only one confused, however, at least one Valley map lists 'Worster' in its index and spells street both ways on map." This photograph has incorrect spelling of street name.; See images #00113158 through #00113159 for all photos in this series.
