both from getty research institute

here's a vintage picture from lynwood by ilu johnson and chris diaz. There's no date, but the cars suggest to me that it's probably mid- to late-60s.

Liked the World Savings photos. Anyone know what the "4" might mean in the lighted box on the sign. In the b&w image (not included here) it's not as legible, but I believe it's a "2" in that one. In the "book" photo it appears this might be a clock. Perhaps?

Also, in the book photo above, I have always heard of "Chicken Delight", because comedians and variety shows would make jokes about that name. I feel that I came to believe it was something made up, because I never saw one before, but there's one in the photo!
