Gilbert Co. - San Francisco, CA\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIlluminated countertop advertising sign promoting \"For Health and Quality Sanitary Infant Dairy,\" featuring a reverse-painted glass front with a stylized milk bottle integrated into the word \"DAIRY.\" During the 1930s and 1940s, dairies frequently emphasized \"sanitary\" milk in their advertising as consumers became increasingly aware of food safety, pasteurization, and hygienic bottling practices. Public health campaigns and stricter dairy regulations encouraged producers to promote cleanliness and quality, particularly for milk intended for infants and young children, making signs such as this an effective reassurance to customers.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe sign is housed in its original wood-framed, textured sheet metal lightbox with rear sliding access panel for bulb replacement. The top retains the original Fred E. Gilbert Co. manufacturer's decal, and the housing includes two factory attachment points for hanging or display.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nProfessionally rewired by our shop and tested; the sign illuminates properly. Bulb is not included and the piece is sold as is. Reverse-painted glass displays minor scratches and scattered paint loss around several letters as shown in the photographs, along with a few small areas of paint damage. The wood frame exhibits heavy finish wear, paint loss, and edge wear throughout. The textured metal housing shows scattered scratches, finish wear, and areas of paint loss, particularly along the top and bottom surfaces. The rear sliding access panel operates as intended, with oxidation visible on the interior. The original manufacturer's decal remains affixed to the top of the housing.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n13\" L x 5.25\" W x 7\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 21709 - 071026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms \u0026amp; Conditions page \u003ca class=\"GeneratedLink\" href=\"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/pages\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Industrial Artifacts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44518321553451,"sku":"21709","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/8170\/files\/2809bc15-94df-5689-9f4f-3333f5c95972.jpg?v=1785354029","url":"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/products\/illuminated-glass-storefront-sanitary-infant-dairy-sign","provider":"Industrial Artifacts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
