RKO's Digs At TKK

[Paul Hopfgarten]

And the "sign" was still there in Kenmore Sq.
(ALBEIT a "GULF" sign at that time)

I wonder when it switched from GULF to CITIES SERVICES?

(AND I do know it was ALREADY CITGO by 1967...thanks to my "Impossible Dream
67" DVD......I want to say the change to CITGO was 1965....)

This is the oldest known color photo of Fenway taken in 1941 and as
you can see the wall was covered with ads
