Remains of the Past
I love seeing the remains of old signs, painted on brick walls of buildings. The kind that were painted 100-years ago, that have faded over the years, so only a ghost of the past remains. The modern printed on plastic signs, will be done the moment the lease is up, no ghost to be see 100 years from now. A loss for future generations.
I agree. I remember seeing a partial Wanamaker's wall ad in New York some years back. What a surprise.

I was a big JD drinker as a young man

It is nasty stuff, I wouldn't use it to sanitize a bird cage.
