A Double Ghost Sign in Concord, New Hampshire - Funny Friday

This is a double ghost sign.  You can see an advertisement for Coca Cola, and also a taller advertisement for Gold Medal Flour.  I can't tell which one is older.  Both are visible heading south on Main Street, to the left, south of the New Hampshire State Capital Building.  I've been noticing many ghost signs in the Manchester, New Hampshire area - perhaps I will feature more in upcoming blog posts. 

A ghost sign is an old hand painted advertisement on the side of a building, usually faded but still legible. They are also known as "fading ads".  You can find them on brick buildings or on the sides of barns.
