Cotton Patch Bar-B-Q Restaurant sign, Chattanooga, Tennessee (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

swanq said:
See www.chattanoogan.com/2016/8/17/330115/Seeking-Information... for information about the establishment and a photo of the sign. Apparently it used to be at 2501 E. Main Street From Streetview from 2018 it looks as though the sign may still have been there, encased in boards! In Streetview from 2007 it looks much the same.

It appears the name is "Cotten Patch," as opposed to "Cotton Patch"

Cotton Thull [?] Ghaut G.I.P.Ry.

from SMU Libraries Digital Collections

Paul Castro said:
Could the title be 'Cotton Thull'? I'm doing some research on Portuguese Goa and have found many mentions of a material called 'tanã', which appears to a sort of cheap cotton made near Bombay.
SMU Libraries Digital Collections said:
Paul Castro Hi there and thank you for your interest! I believe I might be able to clarify this for you. Thull Ghat is an archaic spelling of Thal Ghat, more modernly known as Kasara Ghat - a mountain incline/slope in the Western Ghats, on the Great Indian Peninsula Railway. What the photograph depicts is a cotton storage facility, located at this Ghat. As for 'tanã', I'm not completely certain, but I believe the word might stem from an area near Mumbai which was known for its cotton growing, in the 1870s. Thane is a district in present-day Mumbai, which was once known (and spelled) as both Thana and Tanna. In the book "In Quest of Coolies" by James L. A. Hope, printed in 1872 - there is a mention of how cotton-growing in Tanna was "showing signs of being a great business in the future". Link: books.google.com/books?id=F9gvAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA92 I hope you find this information useful!
