Wait, here’s one—Edna Ferber. From a short story about Chicago entitled That Home-Town Feeling:
“Here an electric sign blazons forth the tempting announcement of lunch. Just across the way, delicately suggesting a means of availing one's self of the invitation, is another which announces ‘Loans.'
"South Clark Street can transform a winter overcoat into hamburger and onions so quickly that the eye can't follow the hand.”
From an anthology of Ferber’s stories called Buttered Side Down, available from Project Gutenberg here.
