A single printing block for creating advertisements for the Ting-a-Ling ice cream parlor. The backing is solid wood with a metal engraved plate on the printing face. The engraving on the front face reads: "24 N. Division St., Chicago. We Serve Dinner. We Make Our Own Ice Cream." Then the words "Ting-a-Ling Chocoal Shop" appear below, as well as a phone number, and a depiction of an ice cream sunday.

The Ting-a-Ling candy shop was a well-known, Greek-owned confectionary shop located on Chicago's northside.

When the establishment went out of business, Ward Miller, a local Chicago architect, entered the premesis and saved a number of valuable artifacts, including this one.
