I can't quite make this out, but looks like it may have once said "Standard Warehouse Co. Inc."? Tell me what you think.

Ghost signs are intriguing remnants of any city's past, and the collection Seattle boasts is awesome. They provide tangible glimpses into another time and allow us to experience the past in the present. I am thoroughly enchanted by these signs, and with the help of local history and architectural resources I am slowly puzzling out some of the many stories associated with these early advertisements. I share what I've learned when possible, and often revisit these posts to include new information.

I agree with "Standard Warehouse Co. Inc." in white letters. Painted over that in black is "Bass-Hueter Paint Co."
Wow Dan, good eye!
I have a sister who lives on Magnolia, my brother-in-law has a stand at Pike's Place where he sells his photos. I put my art work on old paper - primarily bills and receipts from the turn of the century through the Forties. I came here via a Google image search for Holsum bread, but didn't find what I was interested in. I did however scroll down enough to see the Service Station post - and the 'fancy' lettering appears to be "Overland", as that was a popular brand of automobile in the Teens.
