I've been traveling a lot the last month. We traveled to Vermont and back twice. I've been on business travel to Huntsville, Phoenix, and Montreal. This week we are staying put. It gives me a little time to sort through photos.
Last weekend we were in Montreal. So many things I could blog about - great food, architecture, the old city, friendly people. Where to start . . .
I know - the Ghost Signs!
While walking around the old city, I saw three large Ghost Signs.
One was for a company known as Mercantile Printing. I couldn't find much about it.
The second was for La Sauvegarde D'Assurance (Safeguard Insurance). From what I can tell, it was started around 1915 and continued in business into the 1960's.
It took me a while to figure out the last sign. It was for Dupuy & Ferguson. They were a seed distributor in the first half of the 20th century.
Keep looking up!

Very cool!
Hey- its too bad Dupuy and Ferguson don't still distribute seeds!
Those signs are so neat, it'll truly be a shame the day they're painted over.
Enjoy your time at home this week!
