It's a lot harder to find pictures of this building than I thought it would be. The font is extremely close other than the "R." Note the little "feet" for each letter, the turndowns on the T, the way the middle section of the E's go up and down... It's very close. The S's were made bigger than the rest of it on the new sign but that's likely due to the constraints of where each sign was located.

Here it is finishing construction, as a fairly dominant 2nd tallest building for downtown at the time. Funny how this one has never seemed tall to me, yet was so prominent before my time.
