I'll have to see if there's enough left to take a picture. In my home town when I was a kid there was still a faded painted-on-brick sign on the movie theater advertising that they had movies with sound.

YES! Thanks for resurrecting this thread - I didn't know it existed. There are a couple of old signs in my town - I'll have to shoot and post them!

This is a detail of an ad that ran in the 1908 Monongahela Old Home Week Magazine.
The building still exists across the tracks on 7th st. Monongahela Pa

D. E. Gamble Elevator and Warehouse in 2008 - 100 years later. It's interesting to see the changes that have taken place. The building has deteriorated but one thing that has changed for the better is that the trees have grown back across the river on the hillside. If you visit my flicker page and enlarge the pic you can see traces of a later painted sign in the lower right hand corner. Some of the words you can still make out are cows, horses, hogs.
