Frank,
This is on Austin Street in Forest Hills…half a block east of Yellowstone Blvd. Looks like “Kew” is Kew Gardens and the “Forest” is Forest Hills.

Then and Now, from Signs to Websites.
Started by Ogilvie Stanford in 1879 with the help of Rockwell Gager. Ithaca Sign Works produced cloth, tin and wooden signs; novelties like yard sticks, match safes, knife sharpeners, fly swatters, and spare tire covers. They printed or painted such items as advertisements for other companies all over the country. – Ithaca Sign Works

Hi Frank!
Saw the attached wall sign while speeding dangerously through a small and winding street near Axat, in the south of France, pulled the emergency brake, jumped out, dodged a few cars and goats, took the shot and continued on my journey.
Regards from your roving reporter, back from monkey business in France and Spain,
Barney
Thanks Barney! Here is some background info on Pernod & Blanqette de Limoux. Give my love to the beautiful women traveling with you.

Bronx Fading Ad Uncovered – City Noise
Here is a photo I took of an old ad that was uncovered after a row of stores was torn down after a fire destroyed them. The ad is located on the side of a building on Westchester Ave and Ferris Place in the Bronx. These ad is from probably at least 80 years ago. F.M Weiss was located at 120 Westchester Sq – CITY NOISE
