Smoker

Back in the wild 1980s I rode the rails commuting to my job in The City.  In those days – and for a hundred years – smoking was allowed on trains.  These cars were always smoky and loud.    I avoided riding in these cars.  Even passing thru the “Smoker” cars left you with lingering a cigarette smell.    But a fabulous mall in South Beloit, Illinois this sign came up for sale.    It swivels between “Smoker” and “Non-Smoking”.     This sign is of its time and now in my collection.   (Probable Chicago and Northwestern piece, mid-20th Century.)
