A long time since the advertisement attracted customers

            Here and there on the sides of brick buildings around the city of Grand Rapids there are traces of the advertising paint from generations ago. But with the launch of the annual fall Art Prize in 2010, more and more visible sides of buildings have been painted over in mural creations. This one a few miles north of city center has escaped the muralists, although less than a minute south of this side is another exposed building side already painted over.

Without digging into the local business history, it is impossible to know the dates for the King Furniture store, but the lettering style seems to resemble magazine advertising of the 1950s or before.
