Quaint Signboards!

Posted on October 25, 2009

Quaint Signboards
I had clicked this one in a small corner of Cannought Place while waiting for a bus to Manali (our eventual destination was Spiti).
I wonder how many generations would have worked for the same business as the board says the shop was established in 1929.

    The English is perfect!!! Sometimes such signboards make for a funny read in the way they wrongly use the language 😀
