I think it goes way back to either the Romans or Greeks who used to display signs showing what craft was being perfomed in a shop.

Advertising is the business of drawing public attention to goods and services. I ancient times the most common form of advertising was by word of mouth, however commercial messages and political campaign displays have been found in the ruins of Pompeii. Egyptians used papyrus to create sales messages and wall posters, while lost-and-found advertising on papyrus was common in Greece and Rome. Wall or rock painting for commercial advertising is another manifestation of an ancient media advertising form, which is present to this day in many parts of Asia, Africa, and South America. For instance, the tradition of wall paintings can be traced back to Indian rock-art paintings thatat goes back to 400BC. As printing developed in the 15th and 16th centuries, advertising expanded to include handbills. In the 17th century advertisements started to appear in weekly newspapers in England.
