This store name is on a tin sign on the west side of the building....
Should have read, or at least use to read:
J. F. TISING & SONS
HIGH POINT
The other tin sign, well, the top portion is wiped clean by wind rain and that ugly ole father time....the bottom half is almost a rust collection...but the Bottle Cap for a Pepsi Cola soda can be figured out. The rest is unreadable....AH! But sign fans you are in luck....
I am older than dirt and remember this sign from my misguided youth...and the little town (110 population) I grew up in.....it reads:
PEPSI
SOLD
HERE
"The side (west) elevation along High Point Road reveals the Tising Store's stepped roofline and brick
construction, which is mostly masked on the primary elevation. Bricks are laid in a primarily eight-course common
bond. A tin sign, located approximately 20 feet from the northwest comer, reads: "J.F. TISINGS & SONS - HIGH
POINT." A cellar entry is located approximately at midpoint. A side brick chimney emerges from the roof directly
above it. A single-leaf entrance consisting of a four-panel door with transom and double header segmental arch is
located at the south end." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
