Leichhardt, advertising (Theme Day: Funny Signs)

 There's nothing like truth in advertising or in this case the motto of a furniture shop: Butt Ugly Blokes Building Handsome Furniture For Beautiful People. The furniture shop is called 'Three of a Kind Store' and is located on Parramatta Road, in the inner west suburb of Leichhardt. This is the back laneway delivery entrance to the shop and the sign is on the side street, which can be seen from the man road. I took this photo a while ago but didn't find a good reason to post it, until this theme day gave me a perfect excuse.

    Yes, a perfect excuse to post. I think I'd be tempted to go in just because of the sign.

    One should indeed not judge a book by its cover. Please have a nice start into the new month.

    Advertising outdoors has its’ advantages over pretty much all other forms of media marketing.
