They are termed "ghost signs" - those lingering imprints of old graphic work on brick and stone edifices. They advertise long defunct businesses or - like this one - well known and loved products. Some are faint enough to seem to be disappearing before the eye, hence the term "ghost" and others are being restored to capture and share some of the vitality such ads once added to bustling small towns.
Along Route 66 in Oklahoma are many such "ghost signs" and each one has a story. I look forward to gathering some of them and sharing the happenings and history along the "Mother Road" as it wends its way through Oklahoma.
