Wallet Card with some more 100+ year old ghost signs

 Some more signs visible on a building at 7th Avenue and West 17th Street.


 Many of these have faded beyond the point where the business can be made out, including a neckwear business and a leather business. Two that are legible are Brandenstein Trimmings, which operated from 1907 to 1931, and Geo A. Powers Printing, which also operated in the early 20th century; their most notable book appears to be 1903's Lincoln in Caricature.

  1. Being a clippings provider always sounds like it would've been a fun job to have.

  2. You'd think the city would have someone running all over getting pictures to document the history before it fades away completely.
