Finally opened Photobucket account, thanks to dcgrocer. Here are 3 photos of former Pendel PA market on Routes 1 & 413. Any ideas? I thought I took a shot of the side parking lot which showed the barrel roof and old windows. But I did not. First attempt, hopefully I will improve.

That appears to be a late 1940's-early 1950's era store from the size, but as for a chain prototype, it doesn't seem to fit any that I know of.

Most chains used pilons or light fixtures that served a similar purpose in that period. My guess would be Acme. The pylon seems stubby and narrow enough that it would have to have carried a short name.

To my knowledge, it seems that store would be too small and a little too early to be an Acme pylon. Acme's pylons were a little later into the 50's from my research (I wasn't alive then, take into account). The pictures I've seen of Acme pylons indicate some stores into the early 60's had the pylons, before the flat roofs (and some of those A-frame stores) were built.
