Who was Dubois? Ghost Sign 5
This very ghostly sign is in Preuilly sur Claise, and I know nothing about it. In fact, I can't really work our what it says except for the name Dubois. The second line is a mystery. A name? A description of the trade carried on within?

Hi Simon,
I think your mystery is solved. Mr. Dubois was a plasterer, i.e. PLATRIER in French.
I knew if I asked here someone would do my thinking for me :¬)
Thanks, patron
You're welcome, friend. What put me on the track were the first two letters P and L and the fourth one T and probably the end ER. The rest was easy to guess. LOL.
A mystery solved, excellent!

Hello; I think also it's "platrier" in French.
