This black-and-white photo shows a vintage advertisement painted on the side of a wooden structure, possibly a barn or wall. The sign promotes "Neighbor Jones Service Sta" (likely short for service station), with text reading:
"Let 'Neighbor' clean that windshield not wipe it — 7 mi."

A cartoonish figure of a man is featured in the sign, wearing a hat, pointing outward with his arm extended to the right. Additional signage is visible above, advertising "Dr. PIE," various products, and "BEER" branded as "BEST BEER ON EARTH." The design includes the Shell Gasoline logo.

The overall scene has an old-fashioned, rustic feel, with weeds and vegetation growing along the wall. The image captures a nostalgic piece of roadside advertising from an earlier era.
