| Morgan Furniture Dexter, MO |
 |
| Morgan Furniture was established in 1933 as Morgan-Day Furniture. It went by that name in the 1940s as well. In the 1950s, the name had been shortened to Morgan Furniture. This sign is probably from the 1950s. Apparently, the neon rocking chair was animated originally. [map] |

 |
| Randles Court opened around 1947 and these signs are from then. The complex was built in the 1930s as the Boots Cottage Court. It was owned by the brother of the man that opened Boots Court in Carthage, MO. In 2019, a tornado damaged the building and tore apart the pole sign. The chipped porcelain enamel panels were straightened, new neon and bulbs were added, and the sign was reinstalled in 2020. The "Steam Heat" and "Air Conditioned" panels were uncovered. The rooftop sign and TV pole sign are gone now. For more, see this website. [map] |

The C&H Motel has been open since at least 1959. The sign was repainted around 2008. This photo is from 2010. By 2012, the sign had been replaced with a plastic box sign. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. The Key's Twin Bridge Cafe opened in 1948 in Villa Ridge, MO. This sign might have been installed then or in the 1950s. The cafe was still operating in the early 1990s but there is nothing left of the business now. This sign is now displayed outside the Route 66 State Park Visitor Center. [map] |

Monterey Motel [gone] Excelsior Springs, MO |

The Oaks Hotel was built in 1913 as the Snapp Hotel. By 1946, it was renamed the Oaks Hotel and this sign must be from them. The building now houses the Oaks Apartments. [map]
The Monterey Motel sign probably had neon originally and the tubing holes were patched. The motel and sign were gone by 2021. |
