The "Mennen's Borated Talcum Toilet Powder" sign, painted on the side of the Maryland Heights mountain, visible from Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The sign's current appearance stems from efforts to remove the sign in 1963, when it was treated with paint remover and carbon black. However, the sign had reemerged by 1967, and has since been left alone. Viewed from near Hilltop House.
