I don’t know what this ghost sign said, besides “IAN, DOW & CO.” It seems likely that we’re missing some text from the beginning.

John,
I love your photos! With respect to this one, I used to be curious about this partial sign myself, and found some old documents related to a Boston plumbing supply company by the name of Braman Dow & Co. I believe what you thought was an ‘I’ is actually an ‘M’. Then again I could be wrong.

Thanks Joshua! It looks like you could very well be correct.
