No Peddlers or Agents


The building I live in is really old, I have no idea how old it actually is, but my guess would be that it dates from the 1930s or '40s. It has this great sign on the window next to the front entrance, which makes me smile every time I walk in. It's such a relic of bygone days, when door-to-door salesmen showing up on your front steps was a common occurrence. The whole concept is just so wonderfully dated and completely fantastic, I love it! The sign is even hand-painted, I can tell by the lettering. It's like something out of an old Humphrey Bogart movie. I can't believe it's survived this long with almost no damage.
