This Blog reached # 1 on Google this week. Thank you!A few days ago, I reported on a painted, advertising sign that dates back to the 1940’s. It appeared after a demolition crew tore down the building next to it, uncovering this treasure that had been well preserved.
I contacted the people at Squirt who showed an interest in it. And I noticed that sellers on Ebay are offering smaller advertising items with this same character’s logo.
Someone did a little cleaning of the sign so it looks better now. I’d love to see it taken down, board-by-board, and relocated in a museum someplace because it’s a really cool piece of advertising history.

i've been driving by it too, i love it.
I got out of the car in the rain today to take a picture. My kids asked, "Mom, is that a Wacky Package?"
It's a great sign. I'm glad you both were able to see it.
