<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "Like the Cheshire Cat, much of Chicago's history fades away while perched in plain sight. For more than a century, the brick walls of the city served as a ready canvas for advertisements that married artistic experimentation and commercial endeavor. Signs for horseshoers and Hamlin's Wizard Oil were painted by "wall dogs" in places where they would outlast the way of life they represented.

From national brands to mom-and-pop shops, his collection offers the last glimpse of a bygone era"--Back cover. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><b>Like the Cheshire Cat, much of Chicago's history fades away while perched in plain sight.</b></p><br><p>For more than a century, the brick walls of the city served as a ready canvas for advertisements that married artistic experimentation and commer
