The demolition of Guilin Restaurant on Speedway Blvd in Tucson revealed this old painted advertisement for Paul Don's Food Center, Home of Pampered Poultry.
Printed advertisements for Paul Don's appear in the Tucson Daily Citizen during the years 1948-1958, first as an independent grocery, and later (around 1951) as a member of Associated Grocers (AG), a group that formed in 1948 as a means for independent grocers to join together and compete with larger regional chains.

The former breezeway between the two buildings, where the sign was hidden from view.
The wall has since been painted to match the rest of the building.
According to a quick search, the term "Pampered Poultry" is now used by people who dress up and accessorize their pet chickens. I doubt that is what Paul Don meant.
