Hey all, researching the Arthur Fleischmann Carpet Company. Original store, 12585 Gratiot, branch store at 140 Cadillac Square, and branch store in Pontiac at 55 Oakland.

Very interesting man, my understanding is that he started out as a Sheeny man, and worked his way up to starting his floor product business. He held the original patent for tack strips used to stretch carpeting. A small device that is now ubiquitous in many types of carpet installation.

I know there used to be a huge painted sign along one of the expressways, black and yellow I think - cant remember exactly where tho.

Anyone has any info on Arthur or his business or that sign, itd be much appreciated !
