It appears there are at least two, possibly three, ghost signs on the side of a warehouse building near downtown Buffalo. The initial sign simply stated "The Fairmont Creamery Co." across the top.
Some time after that, Buffalo's Rich Products Company acquired the building and used it for frozen food storage. Their big product introduced around 1950 was Coffee Rich, the country's first frozen non-dairy coffee creamer. They advertised this product with a large sign over the old one: "Buffalo's Coffee Rich sold world-wide". On the right side is a painting of a pint of Coffee Rich, which may have been added at a later date along with the Rich's logo on the left side.
This ghost sign is seen by thousands of people passing nearby on I-190 and the building is now commonly known as the Coffee Rich Building.
