An “Old Fashioned” Hot Dog Stand for your own family room. Except that in the old days, we knew where apostrophes went — and where they didn’t.
I can’t tell if that’s an apostrophe after the g or just an olde-time serif.

Looks like the old-time serif to me.
It’s definitely a serif. Although, the bad kerning between the g and the s does make it seem suspect.
Or, maybe, the owner’s name is Hot Dog.
Alright already! I think I’m just overly sensitized to peripatic apostrophes & see them even in my dreams. thanks for the link!
Jesus, this is spreading like wildfire in Ireland right now: photo’s, warning’s, alarm’s etc etc. I think that this comes from the modern Dutch where words brought in from another language like English are given apostrophes to pluralise them.
