Final Fairbury



We do appreciate a good mural.





We hope to return to Fairbury, because we're sure there's more signs.


There were traces of a Coca-Cola sign we couldn't quite get because
of the setting sun.


When ghost sign hunting, be sure to prowl a few alleys.

Seneca Kansas


Like Belleville, Seneca is another community we'd passed by numerous times, but never checked out.
And we're glad we did.


Cremo Cigars: founded in 1896, and get this:
Although cigars are little more expensive today.


We can clearly make out Hall, but not the word atop it.


And we can see the signature: Roderick.


The ghost sign is to the left, on the taller building. 
We cropped this to include the Seneca postcard-style sign on the right.


There's some disagreement, but some of us see the word "Flour"
along the top, towards the right side.


A Google image search turns up a number of other similar signs, many painted with blue.
And endorsements by Shoeless Joe Jackson.




On the west side of the building with the Cremo sign: Furniture?
