Found another old labelscar in Hudson Square. Forest Paper Co. at 90 Vandam St. As far as I can tell, this business opened sometime in the early 20th century, moved into this space in 1937, and was still there in 1966, when a New York Times article noted that Leon Pomerance, president of this company at this address, was financing an archeological dig in Crete that had been hampered by a robbery. Pomerance was an amateur archaeologist who financed several important excavations. As far as I can tell this business dissolved in 1981, but their impression into the side of the building lives on.
I like archeology. Indy was my favorite :)
