B&K ad, 1955

According to Miami’s 125th anniversary calendar, B&K installed the first neon sign in town in 1928. That might have been here, or possibly at their previous location at 21 South Main. Their estimated date of moving here is right about that time.

B&K Menswear is sold, 1950. This article shows that they had been around since WW1. They were formerly located at 21 South Main.
