Description

A large, hand-painted wooden sign for Sonora Talking Machines in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. The main background is a dark blue with the top and middle lettering in a deep yellow: "Sonora" having a fancy styling applied to the beginning and end of the word, and "The highest Class Talking Machine int he World." The bottom half is almost like a privilege panel, presumably advertising the proprietor of this particular business, "W.G. Schmidt".
