Painted advertisements like this one, promoting a company that dealt with cockroaches and bed bugs, were a common sight on the outfield walls and fences of early ballparks. Here the pitch is blunt: the company name and a plain instruction to hire it, with no need for more. Baseball drew large crowds who sat in the same stands for hours, so a sign at the park could reach thousands of local residents at once. The lettering does all the selling, which was typical of the bold, direct signage of the period.
