From Tony Robinson

Some years ago, Vic Hunter, a chemist in a small town near Levin in New
Zealand, decided to get a bigger and better sign erected in front of his
shop.

He was proud of the result, which included his initials, name and occupation.
The sign read: “V D Hunter—Chemist.”

A lot of people posed for photos in front of the shop. Poor old Vic thought
they liked his window display.
