Store with no Name ~ c1915 Brownsville, Texas

The exact location is unknown.  On back of photo was written:  "Brownsville, Tx c1915"
 from the Ruby Wooldridge Collection - Brownsville Historical Association
 Contrast adjusted
 Color removed
 Main color areas are usually filled-in first
 Image search for vintage signs yields some good results
 Most signage colored but main signs need to be changed
 Sign on side 
 Delaware Punch bottle sign "altered"
Finishing touches with false sky added

Anybody notice the other "person" in the photo?

      Thank you and many thanks to your readers for the comments they left on your ToT Facebook page! The historic museum will be having a small exhibit on many more photos digitized photos scanned large negatives with never before seen photos of Brownsville, Texas. After seeing the reaction my hopes are up that folks may come out to see it. I'll post an update here soon.
