Ghost Sign Weekly
Welcome to Ghost Sign Weekly, a blog designed to share information about Ghost Signs everywhere. My current project is photographing the fading ads of Montana communities and uncovering the historical information about them. Call me crazy, but it is next to impossible for me to pass by a Montana town – or any town for that matter – without detouring to the downtown area just in case I find the next best sign. Join me in celebrating these advertising apparitions. Many will be gone in the upcoming years from further fading or building projects that dictate destruction.

Hello Jeanne, I live in Prescott Arizona, the 1st Capital of the Arizona Territory. Built in 1864, downtown burned in 1900. I have a shop in an building on the main street “Whiskey Row” that was rebuilt in 1903. We are currently doing some remodeling inside and have uncovered the original brick wall…. with an advertisement of General Arthur Cigars on it! Do you know if the Advertisements were always on the exterior of buildings or were they sometimes inside merchantiles?
Please advise thankyou, Alessandra Scamardo I am not sure if I will receive an email response – I have a hard time with unknown addresses getting through. My store phone # 928.445.9234 I am out of the country till 6 Feb.2011

Very interesting Jeanne. I didn’t realize that you had done so much research in this area. You should publish a book with all of this info and the pictures.
