From the Road

Our Western Field Agent, Mr. D.L. Hudson becomes our Southern Field Agent this week, as he sends us these from Montgomery, Alabama.

He found a slew of ghost signs near Court and Jefferson, and over the next couple of days, we'll share them with you.

The Creme de la Creme

At 18th and Washington, in St. Louis.

Magnificent!

Especially when you consider it's facing west, and catches the setting sun.

(That's when we caught it.)

Such detail!

We see Wrigley's Gum, furniture, hats, Arrow Stamps... what do you see?

When We Last Left Our Heroes...

D.L. Hudson and I had just crossed 13th Street at Jones to get a better picture of the Skinner's Macaroni Products sign.  But, what's that at the left????

Not one, not two, 

But three ghost signs for White's Yucatan Gum!

Three!  Three wonderful ghost signs for White's Yucatan Gum!  Ah ah ah!

And a quick websearch finds a small, but intense collectable market for White's Yucatan Gum products, like this tin, and this pocket mirror, and more than a few other photos of not just White's Yucatan Gum signs, but specifically this display.  (Link 1 and Link 2)
