Thanks!
many of us suspected Sayre all along..thanks for confirming it!
Actually the spelling is CORNEBY lumber.
I found an obituary for Frank G. Corneby of Sayre, here:
http://www.joycetice.com/obitcemb/tpobitcl.htm
"Frank G. Corneby, 78, of the Corneby Lumber Company and a resident of the Valley practically all his life, died at 8:10 last night at the LaPlant Nursing Home in Tioga Center, N.Y. after a lengthy illness. Mr. Corneby was born in Smithfield Township, but spent most of his life in the Valley. He was a member of the Athens Methodist church. He started in the lumber business in 1904 on Desmond street in Athens but after a fire in 1919, moved the business to its present location in Sayre."
Once you know the spelling, Corneby, you can see it clearly on the sign:

funny how that works! the sign was unclear before, but totally clear after the spelling is confirmed..
