NY TImes
Son of William Oothout - Born in NYC on Aug. 6, 1856. The last of an old New York Dutch family, Oothout was a descendant of George Washington and J. P. Morgan. The desire for a milder climate led him to San Francisco in 1892. He was a close friend of artist Charles Rollo Peters; their grandfathers had been banking friends in NYC. A wealthy philanthropist, Oothout died in San Francisco on Aug. 29, 1927. Member: Bohemian Club - Courtesy of Ask Art dot com

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.
