If you're tired of "Brookfield this" and "Brookfield that" and
"Brookfield is so great" you're in luck. These are the last of the
ghost signs from Brookfield.
You'd think this one would be in better shape...
Considering it had some protection from the elements.
As it is, we can only make out what appears to be
the numeral 5, and we're not completely sure of that.
Brookfield really appears to have been a major target for ads from
Owl Cigars. We can't think of any other place we've seen two
and so close to one another. The owl is still slightly
visible on the right side, and we believe we see a 5¢
just to the left of the owl.
Could the 5¢ in the previous sign be another cigar ad?
In the upper right hand corner, we can make out
what appears to be the word 'grocery'
in two different fonts, slightly overlaid each other.
But we can't decipher the name across the top.
If you can interpret anything else from this sign,
please let us know.
