It is the old S&S building in Cincinnati. Last I saw, it was not looking this good. In fact several of us picked up souvenir pieces of red brick that had falled to the sidewalk. Mine is still in one of the ash trays in my coach. Not really a neighborhood you want to be in anymore, and we were there in the middle of the day in our coaches!

now you may ask

Thanks for the Gold Star. As I remember this is not too far from CW Coach in Cincinnati.
Now you may be asking yourself why M-M owners would want a piece of memorabilia from an old S&S building. Simple answer is that it is a part of hearse history. We only got pieces of brick that were already on the ground. The building was in very sad shape the day we were there.

Ok back to this story......at our SE Chapter Meet in Feb I met Rick Cox from Kentucky who had just cleaned out an old funeral homes garage. In that garage was "a find", a 1920's S&S 65 page catalog! Knowing that he most likely did NOT want to sell this find I begged Rick to let me borrow this to scan. After I got home I got busy and one thing led to another and I managed to come into the possession of an 11x17 inch flatbed scanner. A few weeks later this is what I managed to do. As most of ya know the common scanners are only 8.5 inches by 11. 5 or 6 nights later here are some more of the results.....Thanks to Rick for loaning me his "find" to share with y'all. :cool:
