I posted one of these the other day from the same company, in which the year, 1913, was also stamped in. In this one, it was simply lined in by hand, for a much less professional appearance. Oddly, this one is a few years younger. It's also several blocks away, presumably representing the advancing sidewalks of the town in the teens.

Engelke Brothers Sidewalk Maker's Mark. 1913. Casper Wyoming.
It used to be the custom, and probably at least still partially is, for cement companies to stamp their names in their product. this is an example of a Engelke Brothers mark, in downtown Casper, from 1913.
Many Casper sidewalks were of this vintage in the general downtown area, but in recent years the sidewalks have been torn out and replaced, so these really old stamps are not nearly as common as they once were.

Firestone Building and mural, Salt Lake City Utah.
This photographs shows the backside of the Firestone Building in Salt Lake City, as well as a neighboring mural. This was an industrial area of Salt Lake a century ago, but the area now just off downtown features restaurant and shops (but is also near an area that can be a bit rough). The appearance of the back of the Firestone Building is much different than the front, and the building now houses an Italian restaurant. The building was built in 1925.

This building in Salt Lake City was built in 1910 in a district of Salt Lake which once featured a variety of industrial structures. Today a Vietnamese restaurant is on the street level. The Crane Company that built this building is the company which makes the well known valves and plumping fixtures, and it was used in the course of their business.
