Signs don't mean a thing

Four women standing under wooden scaffolding and leaning against railing, probably on Fulton Street; sign behind them reads, "HACK STAND, 3 TAXICABS, NO PARKING." Caption: "SIGNS DON'T MEAN A THING to nylon-seeking ladies who stood determinedly, a 'no parking' sign notwithstanding, outside Mays Department Store today, where the precious hosiery was on sale."
