Possible Pabst neon signs
Perhaps the most striking feature of the Vicksburg all-night cafe in George Ritchie's story was the blue Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer neon sign Ritchie saw in the cafe's right window. According to experts, such signs were very common in restaurants and cafes in the 1940s and many of these signs have been recovered in recent years from buildings prior to renovation or demolition. The question is which Pabst sign are we referring to. The following are various candidates, some of which are obviously incorrect. We seek to identify the correct sign that was in common use in Vicksburg in the 1940s.
