Signage

[RedGinger]

Agency Johnston's Swiss Style Milk Chocolate Creams In Gold Boxes Only. We were just pondering over this sign that Joe dug in our first under the drugstore dig. I love it! I'm trying to find out more about it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Great ad! How did you do your search? We couldn't find it on ebay either.
