Here is my new sign that I purchased. It is 14' tall and almost 7' wide. Double sided neon.

Where in the world are you planning on putting that sign?

Ha! I am actually not sure where I will put it yet. As far as the story goes... I found it in a warehouse. The sign came from a shop that closed and was torn down. The sign was moved into a warehouse and sat for about 40 years is what I was told. Luckily I was able to purchase it and this weekend it went home with me! I am trying to find pictures of the shop with the sign out front.

That shop still exists...well kind of. Hasn't opened to the public for years, but is still there.

The original store was on union ave in memphis, and was torn down and a ballpark was built there. Yes the company does still exist in memphis but at a different location. The business is closed to the public now, but I have had the privelige to meet and deal with the owner.

I had some visitors a couple of weeks ago and they did a pretty good job of photographing my advertising stuff-

I didn't realize I had such a problem until I saw these pictures....

I hope the Huffman police do not see this one.
