Forgotten New York

A 28th STREET MYSTERY

There’s a painted ad on West 28th off 7th that has always been a mystery to me — it’s fairly large, with flowing, florid script, and I do not understand a word. It could even be in a different language from English.

I’m quite familiar with it, since while working in the area at the World’s Biggest Store I would often sit in the long-gone Ranch 1 on the opposite corner and, when lifting my head above the trough, wonder what it said.

Anybody have any idea?
