  The text at the bottom of the sign appears to be Polish. The first two lines read SPRZEDAZ SZYFKART TANIEJ JAK WSZĘDZIE. And the only legible word from the two lines below that is "olcsóbban," which is Hungarian.

  Sprzedaz szyfkart, tanie jak wszedzie.....i don't know what "szyfkart" means, but it says that it is for sale cheaper than anywhere else. Also right behind the man is a sign that looks like it says "--rzeba --udzi"'...I'm wondering if maybe this means "Potrzeba ludzi", people needed? Due to the "help wanted" signs?

  "Szyfkarta" (Nominativus, singular) means "boarding pass" (on ship), form German word Schiffskarte.
