Went past that address a zillion (or more) times but don't really remember FFSL. Looks like it's (another) vacant lot sandwiched between Sinclair (those are still operational?) and the big and beautiful First Federal Bank at 4227.

Not surprisingly, FFSL was the predecessor:

In 1959 a very popular business category featured the following names:

Alderson
Bruder
Lakin
Jones

What sort of business did each of them operate?
