Optimo Cigars in Queens has an original privilege #sign and at one time not only sold Optimo brand cigars but also had a soda fountain lunch counter serving egg creams, milkshakes and ice cream 🍨. • Privilege Signs are an industry term for the promotional signs installed by large corporations such as Coca-Cola and the Optimo Cigar Company. They were popular in the 1930s through 1960s and received their name because store owners were given the “privilege” of completing the signs with their own copy. Large companies benefited from the signs because they were an easy way of weaving a marketing campaign right into a building’s façade. The signs were not only given free to store owners, but they also brought people into the store with instant brand recognition. • For anyone like us who spends hours and hours wandering the streets of New York City taking great pleasure in spotting vernacular #signage and unique #typography, Privilege Signs are always an exciting find. We collect photos of #signs and storefronts wherever we travel in an effort to preserve, photographically at least, their legacy within a constantly evolving street-scape.

Großartige Sammlung von Vintage-Storefronts; viele der Geschäfte existieren leider nicht mehr. James und Karla Murray sind die Autor:innen von drei Büchern über diese Stores.
