This ghost sign was recently uncovered at 5438 N. Clark in Andersonville (a couple blocks north of Berwyn, near the Brown Elephant resale shop) when a building adjacent to it was torn down. This sign is believed to be over 100 years old. – Katie Levin
Katie- Michael Hirsch recently provided a link to your image through the Forgotten Chicago FB Page. The ad was featured by FAB earlier this year when it was brought to my attention by Mike Merritt who shot it last summer. I love how the “deck” has progressed. Lucky neighbors.

UPDATE FROM WALTER GRUTCHFIELD ON JULY 8, 2013:
Frank, Turns out Rashker at 38 W 26th St. is actually Prashker. Found the following in a 1925 city directory: “Prashker Bros (Morris and Jacob) infants’ wear, 38 W 26th.” – Walter
