Book Synopsis
The businesses are mostly gone, but these Indiana ads still beckon
Indiana's vintage brick wall advertisements--also known as ghost signs--still cling to life in small towns like Redkey and Alexandria and big cities like Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. From tobacco ads to early automotive services, these fading layers of paint in Logansport, Gary, Terre Haute, South Bend, and beyond reveal a bygone era of local industry and bold graphic design. Through striking photographs and engaging commentary, author and photographer Joey B. Lax Salinas captures the artistry, history, and resilience of the slowly vanishing landmarks that continue to whisper Indiana's commercial legacy from weathered walls across the state.
