Though the rest of the showroom was immaculate, this small center store area did appear invitingly as a tile and building block play center. Even I wanted to sort through and play with the pieces. So this was a good place to reinforce warnings to Please Keep Children In Hand. My true interest is this polite phraseology in my collection of retail regulation signage. And of course to better stake out the territory for my own play. CLICK the thumbnail for closeup view. See that this seems to be old school, hand painted signage. That is an increasingly rare skill.
