Brooklyn resident – Chris Belena had taken this shot of the recently unobscured sign near Greeley Square in Manhattan, which mysteriously was forwarded to me. Check out Forgotten NYs extensive page about this sign, which features Walter Grutchfield’s images and investigative history of this vintage mural ad.
