Beaver-lick Mercantile Company, Incorporated

The US Post Office folks recognized the post office here as "Beaver Lick" (two words) from 1843-1895, and, from 1895 - 1944, as Beaverlick (one word).  Then there's above image which says "Beaver-Lick" (with a dash), and the postmark at the top of this page that just says "Beaver." 

US 42 at Beacon Light, at the time US 42 opened
in the Fall of 1939.

 

This map shows the beacon light that was on an early US mail air route, which followed
 a straight line between Louisville and Lunken Airport.  This map is from May, 1944.
The stars denote landing sites - note one at Warsaw, one at Beaver, one in Edgewood, and of
course one at Lunken Field.  The purple highlighting shows the flight path, and the purple elliptical
shape denotes a "Fan Marker Beacon" which existed at the place we know as Beacon Light.
