The Signal needs your help solving a small mystery involving an old faded sign on the side of Cecil McCartney's Skidmore Auto Supply. According to Mr. McCartney, the building formerly housed a drugstore, theater, and grocery store. A bee-keeper even set up business in the building during the seventies. The images below include a normal view and an "enhanced" version. Use the "Comments" link to give us your best guess as to what product is being advertised.

Enhanced
Update: Could a variation on this sign be the answer? David Ross suggests
"The mystery sign may be Bright and Early, a brand of coffee that used a crowing rooster in its signs. The coffee was sold in packages and in metal buckets which could be used for other purposes when emptied."
