Very rare cool old original porcelain advertising sign. Circa 1910’s 20’s. Below is a brief history of Mrs. Simmons. I don’t imagine too many of the are out there.
The color of the sign is a pale yellow with wording in black and outlined red.
Alice Simmons opened up a bakery in 1913, which started by baking four loaves of bread per day. It grew over the course of time to a very large bakery serving the entire city. William Wallace Simmons died suddenly while on a business trip in 1915. Mrs Simmons kept on growing her business when WWI took her son for service in France. One of his letters home to his mother made the Daily Oklahoman paper.
