I love the blue tones in these overlapping motor company signs. The smaller, vertical sign is for the Pioneer Motor Bearing Co. The larger, perhaps older sign is for –ARK Motor Co and advertises their six other locations in Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland, Fresno, Boise, and Spokane. Look at the lovely art deco flourishes! This must have been a beautiful sign in it’s day.

Fun Historical Pictures! In this and this image you can see the building frontage circa 1929. In this small, undated image you can see the entire sign.

P.S. I would love to know what the letter(s) before A-R-K are so I can do research on the company. I’m thinking it says Stark Motor Co. but I can’t tell. I even read a 70ish page PDF on the history of Auto Row trying to figure this out!
