 I recently dug up an old enamel sign for 'Hargreaves' Blue' on my allotment in Lincoln. Does anyone know what it is actually for? The wording on the sign reads:

'Hargreaves' Blue, Beautiful in colour, Economical in use, Sure to please, Take and use no other'

The typeface appears modern and it has no pictures. 

many thanks
