Description
Advertising painted on barns and buildings were once commonplace. This old sign was found in the small Texas town of Hico.
Commercial buildings at one time were often the canvases for painted advertising signs. Unlike today's stick on mega posters, a hundred years ago buildings were as likely to advertise their own business as they were commercial products like Coca-Cola or in this case Bright and Early Coffee and Tea. Small towns have a dwindling collection of buildings with faded lead paint on brick advertising, sometimes called "ghost signs".
