I found this on  line
"KENTILE FLOORS 2nd Avenue and 9th Street

Kentile was founded by  Arthur Kennedy in 1898 and once billed itself as 
"America's largest  manufacturers of super-resilient floor tile." Kentile 
hung in there till  just a couple of years ago following a series of 
strikes and costly asbestos  lawsuits. It's purple neon sign no longer 
burns brightly but it reminds  folks for miles around that there was once 
a Kentile."


I doubt  that the sign was up there since 1898....  but I'd guess it was 
pre-war  -- meaning, for those of us in my generation,
before  WWII

BTW, didn't say before -- but I like the  light and the old timey feel.

Thanks for info. on the sign.  Wondered.
