I love signs with cartoon figures alongside the words. Many of these signs in Chicago are from the mid-20th century, when such characters were most popular.
Now thats a friendly Handee Car Wash
Mr. Steer looks happy to serve you beef
A downright diseased-looking tooth advertising dentistry? Wash me!
Mr. Snappy, looking pretty stern for an advertising character
No snickers, its just a beaver who sells hardware
This understated clothes pin is my favorite
