Description
Advertising painted on barns and buildings were once commonplace.
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. Small towns have a dwindling collection of buildings with faded lead paint on brick advertising, sometimes called "ghost signs".
This old painted sign can be found in the Fort Worth Stockyards.
