Description

Before the billboard, radio or tv commercial, there used to be the painted ad. Lately, these aging ads capture the imagination, harkening back to a bygone era. Vanishing paint on brick walls speaks to a time when commerce used to be much simpler and a lot more direct. Few cities in The united states have produced as many intriguing fading ads as St. Louis. Fewer still are home to such an expert at the subject as writer Wm. Stage. For decades, Stage has studied and researched the lost art type of the painted ad, carefully tracking the history of this hands-on strategy to advertising from its lustrous heyday to its disappearing present. Sign up for Stage on a tour through St. Louis’s fading ads hidden in plain sight.
