Even though I cannot make out every detail, nor whether the photo is dated 1911 or 1912, I am confident that the red arrow points to the sign in question, which is the same overall color - same type of writing - and right location in relation to the smoke stack. So I'm calling it quits with this, at least as far as any more searching goes, and hope the photo sells for a zillion dollars on eBay. Good Luck. BOB52 Last edited by BOB52; 05-19-2012 at 12:28 AM.

Final PS ~
I just realized the confusion. That same exact photo is shown twice on Flickr. One is Dated 1911 and one is dated 1912. So take your pick, but I like the 1912 one the best.  But please don't ask me why the bottom part of the sign is painted white, that's for a photo expert to figure out. Maybe they painted it white at some point so the words "Makes The Home Run Right" would stand out.Bob Last edited by BOB52; 05-19-2012 at 12:55 AM.

Glad to see this resolved. Sorry to bow out so early. I had a great night's sleep.

I fully realize that your primary question pertained to where your photo was taken and not when, which has been fully established by JollyElm's amazing find. However, I just noticed a peculiarity that I thought you might be interested in seeing. Take a close look at the two pictures below, both of which are from Flickr (Library of Congress) and dated 1912. Notice how the upper sign that advertises "Venus Pencils" seems to be in two different positions in relation to the signs beneath it. I studied this for quite a while on these two pictures as well as some others, and do not think this oddity is simply the result of different camera angles, but it might be. What do you make of it? In your photo there is definitely no other sign above the fence. The only thing I can think of to explain this would be if the Venus Pencils sign was not on top of the others, but rather a seperate sign altogether and set back a distance from the fence. (I'm also including a 1912 ad for Venus Pencils that I found on eBay). Bob eBay Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1912-VENUS-P...34259499307606 Last edited by BOB52; 05-19-2012 at 09:46 AM.
