The wood-constructed sign stands at center and is viewed close-up at a slight angle. It is posted in front of a tall tree; the tree's trunk rises behind it and beyond the top edge. A vertical portion of the sign also extends above the top edge, it reads, "[...]LD." The sign at center reads, "in the Village HUNTING & FISHING Information RESORT GUIDE SEE HOLMES for HOMES." Below it and tacked to the tree trunk, a smaller notice reads, "LOT 68 X 102 $600. Terms. OWNER Phone Rugby 6·1691."
