Thanks Bob for identifying the Wayne Knit Hosiery advertisement on the outfield fence. I Googled this string and learned that Wayne Knit Hosiery had its headquarters in Ft. Wayne Indiana. The Ft. Wayne Railroaders played in Grand Duchess Stadium in 1912. Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful in finding any pictures of this ballpark. This may or may not be the correct stadium, but it is a start.
Thoughts?

I'd start with every ball park in every city and state near Ft. Wayne, Indiana such as Chicago - Cleveland, etc. Or any team that was in the American League in 1912.

Someone should get started on a website that displays the configurations and signage of every ballpark in the majors from 1901 until today.

There are a few ballpark experts around who don't seem to post on net54. I'll try an direct them here to see if they can provide any assistance

That would be incredible, both in terms of usefulness and in scope of project. Maybe someday, but my goodness, what a herculean task that would be!
