Joe, initially I looked up the Irwin hotel and found this blog;
I then cut and pasted he image to my friend Steve Storz who grew up in the Storz Brewery that his dad and uncles owned. I peg that picture as around 1963 and Steve was about 10 so I thought he would enjoy.
His reaction was to confirm and comment on how that Falstaff Beer billboard must have pissed off his family every time they were down there, around Jackson and 17th.
