Thank you for sharing.

Can imagine how many signs he hand painted over 50 years, ?

During a time when hand painted signs was the main form of advertising & for 40 years of that, show card size & up to billboard very popular, if he stopped in the 90s.

Basicly everything you do for a business done by hand & if printed by hand 1st, remember all those old movies titles & much of the rest also, lots depending on how old.
