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.

If I am not mistaken, this ad is painted on a building on Bridge Avenue in Red Bank, NJ. The building is located right across from Red Bank’s train station. When I took the photograph, a resident approached me and said that there used to be an A. Citarella Meat Market in the building, and that old photos survive showing the ad when it was first painted. – Iman R. Abdulfattah
