Barontoo's Blogspot

Welcome on the webblog of Barontoo, the first Belgian blog listed as a WAYMARK. I started this blog in July 2005 in my mothertongue Dutch. But since it is listed as a Waymark I continue to write my comments in English. So take a look at it, post somewhere a comment and do not forget to log it! To do so click on the 1st link in the left frame hereunder and click then on "Visit Waymark (Post log)". Thanks!

Fading Ads (GC7F94)


Today I found a rather special fading ad. It is an ad painted on the side wall of a house in Schaerbeek (Belgium) for an insurance company RCT that was making publicity for a product named "risk cover for war" (=risques de guerre). People could see it in those days (before 1940) from the train. But, as soon as World War II started the company stopped its activity! I logged it as a locationless cache.
