I believe the two posters read: "MOON BROS" "BUGGIES" I cannot make out the third line.
Stencil at car top center is: "Return to Chicago"
Can anyone else read it more clearly? Was there a Moon Bros in Chicago?

Photo: Simple Weathering Project - CB&Q Boxcar 12138 A 1903 photo from the Kansas City Public Library: Good close-up view of this car. For weathering, just leave your boxcar in some standing muddy water for a few days. The car has some advertising posters (probably the last shipper) on it, although they are not readable. I understand these posters were common around the late 1800s-early 1900s. Bob Chaparro Hemet, CA
