This is the only Ukrainian advert I found in Ukrainian village, but I hope to find more.

I asked a Ukrainian friend what the writing says, but the paint is too faded for a clear translation. It says something along the lines of “pay for [unintelligible] every quarter from the savings.”

Near St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Catholic church on North Oakley Boulevard.
