My mother left us a story in her journal about their home being marked as a kindhearted lady's. (She was raising 9 kids on a poor minister's salary, so she learned of this with some chagrin.) We're preparing to publish a novel set in this era now, and that's how I found your site. Thank you! My mother left us a story in her journal about their home being marked as a kindhearted lady’s.

The most knowledgeable section of the post is the chart of hobo symbols with their explanation. I have also seen many such signs in my country and an interesting fact which I have noticed is the meaning of most of the symbols are same. I really like the way you collected the information about hobo and tramp signs and presented it in a nice manner. If you want more details on such identification labels then you can explore: www.lemproductsinc.com .

In flashbacks to ad-man Don Draper's Depression-era childhood, we see how he first learned the value of symbols in communicating ideas. Highly recommended viewing!
