Luzianne Coffee with chicory

Submitted by OldNavyDave on Tue, 03/05/2013 - 4:29pm.

Family owned and operated since 1902. That makes that company just six years old at the time of this wonderful glimpse of the past. I lived near Shreveport Louisiana, for a time, and the Chicory coffee from this company was a staple of many people I knew. I never developed a taste for it myself though. Classic and great signage though for that fledgling company of 1910, though for sure. One of many wonderful time traveling moments for me today.

Chimneys

I love those old brick factory chimneys. Even something as industrial and rudimentary had some style.

No need to add the Shorpy watermark to this photo, it was already on the building!

What is it?

Submitted by Phantasmagoria on Fri, 04/27/2012 - 5:07pm.

On the roof peak of the D.H. Holmes building on the left, there is a very unusual item - it appears to be half hoops of wood likely with lightbulbs on them - and some extra related material. One would guess that it is an attention getting device but not really advertising anything in particular and I cant imagine what item it might represent.

[It's a crown. - Dave]

Bleachers

Submitted by zenjive on Fri, 04/27/2012 - 3:50pm.

I've seen another photo here some time ago that I think was taken in front of those bleachers. I believe they are exactly for watching Mardi Gras parades.

Also, is St. Louis cathedral behind the Hotel Monteleone? I see Jax Brewery (if that's what is was at the time of this photo) and the market, so it seems the cathedral should be right behind that hotel.

Looks like bleachers

On the colonnade in front of Hart Pianos and the business next door. That would be a great spot for watching Mardi Gras parades.
