A fellow ghost sign fan, Leisa Clements, has just sent through these pics of a recently uncovered sign remnant on the corner of
High and Bent Streets in the inner-north suburb of Northcote.
Leisa mentions that the tag line “every flake a grain of wheat”
was associated with Granose, a Sanitarium product that seems to have been the
precursor to Weetbix.
Unfortunately Leisa also mentions that this 'reveal' has come about through the demolition of two lovely buildings that I have long admired – the c.1923 Lew Brothers grocery store and the 1935 Hosking
Butchers shop next door. It does mean though that the sign is a very old one.
Once again, discovery and destruction are entangled as our cities are made and remade.
