Queer Signs and Laughable Notices on New York Streets
A New York Herald piece catalogs humorous and odd storefront signs across the city. From "Wet Goods" on Second Avenue to "Neglected Photographer" on Fulton Street, the items mix wordplay and misspellings, including "No Two Men Allowed to Drink Out of the Same Schooner" and "Pies Open All Night" at a West Broadway beanery. The notice surveys signs about crafts, services, and even names, such as Herr Weinbeer and Coffin as a druggist, with playful commentary on orthography and gender roles reflected in the era’s signage.
