The Cincinnati-based American Sign Museum will be adding a landmark from Johnson City, NY. Two neon signs that advertised Bernie’s Army-Navy store will join the expanded three-dimensional Signs of Main Street display at the new, 42,000-sq.-ft. museum building set to open in September.

The signs, which are at least 59 years old, were removed because the store closed at the end of 2007, and the landlord didn’t want to pay the sign-permit fee for another year.
