Is it me, or does that sign looked like it's photoshopped on that wagon? ???

I actually Photoshopped the sign, increasing the contrast so it would look a little sharper, the rest of the photo was left as is

Interesting magazine covers!  I guess that was 2 years before LIFE redesigned their cover (in 1936).

I bought this with a Best Offer (for a lot less than the asking price).  The sign looks like an early die-cut sign but it could also be cardboard.  Here is a scan of the card:
