Music and fashion are a
sign of the times
and a reflection of what
people want and need at
this very day and age.

Tod Swormstedt is the founder of the American Sign Museum. Since 1906 his family has owned Sign of the Times, a trade journal for the sign manufacturing industry. Tod was its editor and publisher and self taught sign expert when he began collecting signs in 1999.
This is a photo of the mural painted on the American Sign Museum building as an homage to his family, the trade journal and sign industry. Cincinnati has some of the best murals I have seen.
@shutterbug49 Thank you for the head's up! I just might take you up on that. I took photos of several beautiful murals and I haven't had the chance to enter for awhile...been so distracted on other things.
Many of my design friends worked at Sign of the Times. Yes, Cincy has a great mural program in ArtWorks. One of the things on my list was to go on a mural tour but we couldn't fit it in. https://www.artworkscincinnati.org
