Very happy to pick up these two 1.5" pins in the bottom row. I had the top two....it's interesting that 333 Geary and Powell & Geary are basically right next door to each other. For some reason, I always assumed Milton F. Kreis was an attorney. The name sounded lawyeresque to me. I have since learned that Milton F. Kreis was kind of a drug store/restaurant. Besides SF, they were also in LA, Palm Springs and.........Dayton, Ohio . Bustles and Beaus was an adjacent "retro burlesque" club which was open from 1960 until 1966. I had seen the "Go Furter" pin before but it just recently occurred to me that this is fractured German for "Go Further with (new Giants manager Herman) Franks." I guess we can assume Millton Kreis was German.
