Photograph from Electric Time Company archives from the mid 1940's of the Dawson Beer Company Clock, I believe it was located in Kenmore Square. It was a big clock -I think 20' plus.

The clock movement from the Dawson Beer Sign was taken down and sent to the Chicago Parks Commission, they intended to make a large flower clock in Grants Park - but they never used it. I can see the tower clock movement stored in some City of Chicago warehouse - like in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
