When I saw that photo of Kresge's on the Vintage Hamilton Facebook page I was also surprised to see that the ziggurat-shaped tiles above the windows had a pattern originally.
The photo also shows the effect of inflation on the five-and-dime store concept. The Woolworth's sign is "5-10-15 CENT STORE" and the Kresge's sign is "5-10-15-25 ¢"
Similarly today Dollarama is now a $1-$3 dollar store and other dollar stores have had to change their signs to 'nothing over $1.25".
