I came across this on another Ghost Sign blog from USA.I wonder if the music notes imply that there was some sort of jingle to go with the slogan 'happy feet for all the family', perhaps from a local radio commercial? Also, was this store run by a distant relative of mine? Visit the full content here and have a browse through his collection:

Great site! My comment is concerning the SevenUp ad. It appears that the sign was painted years ago then another structure was built next door. Years later for whatever reason it was torn down revealing the ghost sign underneath the plaster, etc. I've seen many of these circumstances where the ghost sign outlasted everything placed on top of it to hide it even other signs. Talk about resilience...

ReplyDeleteIs this where you initially saw it? http://www.lileks.com/ghost/14.html
ReplyDeleteThat's highly likely as the picture is the same. It was a few years back now, as my interest was forming and I was making discoveries almost daily.
