Sorry for the poor quality-- my cell phone camera is not very good.
This is from a store window of an antiques store near where I was visiting in Windsor, CA.
By the way, also in Sonoma County, CA, here is some good news on the apostrophe front. There is a prominent sign by the highway in Petaluma, CA for a restaurant called the Green Windmill (I think) --the sign is green and in the shape of a windmill-- and for many years one of the vanes of the windmill said, "FOOD AT IT'S BEST."
Finally, after many years, the apostrophe got painted out!
(Thanks, earthling!)

Given the peculiar mixture of upper and lower-case, maybe they had to do that cos they ran out of letters! "Oh no, we're out of Es, what shall we do?" "Oh, just stick an apostrophe in there instead".
Hey, thanks for the link! I'm linking to you now, too.
Cheers,

The purpo'se of a postrophe i's to warn you that a "s" ("'s") i's about to appear. Thi's i's the new way of writing so let's get with it. Extra "quote's" that "appear" for "no" rea'son at all are al'so part of the plan. Form what I can 'see, u'sing wrong word's i's ok, "too" if they are spelled write mos'tly.
