Relieves Fatigue (347/366)


TIME: 12:20 pm
PLACE: 1st block of North Charles St
SUBJECT: Ghost sign

*~*~*

I've been wanting to take a picture of this for some time, however, everytime I drove by, there would be a car parked in front of it.

There was no car today!

I'm not sure what relieves fatigue, is sold everywhere and is only 5 cents. I could sure use some though.

I did do some quick research in the local historical newspaper archives (courtesy of our library) and found this advertisement for some gum that "relieves fatigue" and was only 5 cents for 5 sticks back in 1916.




Maybe this is it.
