Fun signage;

[Ladder7]

... found while examining an old South End Grounds photo. Incidentally, I've yet to find another photo of the SEG outfield or scoreboard before, just lithos.

Post your signs!

Among the several tobacco and whiskey ads:

"... CASH before the LAWYERS GET IT ALL" and "REGAL SHOES, a pair free to every player making a home run"


The small photo, on the SEG grandstand; "PLEASE! DO NOT THROW BOTTLES"

Good sleuthing ... atmospheric and informative.

Thanks for deciphering that Steve! For a second, I thought it said "CARDS before the LAWYERS GET IT ALL"

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Niether of these came from inside a stadium like the ones Steve showed, but ...

The first, one of my favorites in my collection, most likely was a point-of-sale sign at either a ticket retailer or possibly at Cleveland Stadium.

I'm not really sure what the second one is from. My guess is it was used by some type of Indians fan club that made annual trips.

Steve, I used to own two snapshots of the SEG...I sold them to Rhys a while back if you're interested in them he may still have them. In the bottom photo you can see a sign for Nuf Ced's.
