Trader Bill’s Neon Sign – is now a Harley Davidson store
Trader Bill’s, was one of the best Leather and Western Gift Shops on Fremont Street. It had a large, flicker bulb arrow pointing down towards the door. The outside was made to look like a movie set Trading Post. Inside, it was leather heaven but they also carried lots of Indian rugs and jewelry. Originally, it had a wooden sidewalk before paved sidewalks were installed in the 1950s. It is now a Harley Davidson store. The Harley Davidson store kept the sign and the facade.
