Ghost type: coal tar products

Rightreading has been on the road for a while, and mostly without an internet connection. I’ve encountered some interesting ghost type on my travels, such as this example from Baltimore’s Fell Point district. I figured this type was pretty old because of the small counters, a notion that was confirmed when I finally made out the first word and realized this building was advertising “coal tar products.” What is a coal tar product?
