I don't know if anyone started a topic about Lit Brothers Department store (1893 to 1977), so I started one just in case.  Here are the final known locations of Lit's:

Center City Philadelphia-8th and Market St(1893)
Upper Darby-69th and Ludlow

Most Lit's used the Wide Times New Roman "LIT BROTHERS" or "LITS" on the stores at the time of closing.  The Center City store also had the cursive 1960's style as well.
