The "H.L. Green Co." sign is from above the entrance door of the "Five and Dime" store at Orange and Queen Streets in Lancaster, PA.
The name of the company is printed in white upper-case letters on a green background. White circular seals appear at before and after the name. A brass plate is attached to the wood frame, bottom center: "Mgr. J. Robert Taylor"
"The late J. Robert Taylor managed both the H.L. Green and the McCrory stores in downtown Lancaster during the 1980-90's...I would like these signs displayed both in memory of an era of retailing gone by and in memory of Mr. Taylor. (written by F.A. Wark)
