I posted in your graphics forum. As I was attempting this for Exposition Park recently, I had to dig deep into the web for results to cut-and-paste or even just finding a clear enough photo to research period specific stores/companies/brands. Many of those stores/brands went extinct 75+ years ago. So I combed through countless cityscape photo archives for additional photos or brands since large signboards were used extensively on buildings to advertise.
Some search terms and sources that may help:
Shorpy
Ebay
Google Images
Getty Images
Digitalballparks.com
"vintage photos" for a city
"vintage advertising" for a city and year/decade
Pinterest
"vintage signboard"
scanned historic local newspapers (most are now subscription services)
baseball auction listings
