Wallet Card at Freeport Bedding

This one's hard to see in the photo, but under the awning for The Mattress Factory in Freeport, NY, are the remains of letters that once said Freeport Bedding.

The only reference that I can find to this store being called Freeport Bedding is from a 1947 newspaper ad. By the 1990s it was Island Bedding and soon after the Mattress Factory. So this lettering could date from anywhere from the 1940s to the 1990s, I suppose.

    From the condition of the awning and the still-present Christmas lights in the window, it looks like The Mattress Factory is on its way to becoming a ghost sign of its own. Then again, Google street view shows those same Christmas decorations were hanging up last summer.
