Saw this posted elsewhere. Contractor uncovered old Shell advertisement while residing a building in Chicagoland.
Looking for photos, etc from 60s era Shell-A-Rama gas station and Pal's Diner, Rt. 17 Mahwah, NJ
& US or state highway signs, shields, route markers

Wow. Hopefully he saved it. He could make a few more dollars on top of the siding job.

They're not re-siding the building,they're demolishing it to make room for a 6 story bldg..While removing the old siding,they discovered the Ghost signs underneath.They're currently looking for someone to preserve and take the old building away as is. It's all over our local News and I drove up there earlier this week. https://blockclubchicago.org/2022/0...n-ravenswood-building-facing-demolition/
