The Buena Vista Home for Boys was built in 1928. This sign is probably from the 1930s or 1940s. [map]

The Wolfe Nursery was established in 1919. This giant sign was designed by the store's owner, Hugh Wolfe, and built by the Dallas Sign Co. It was supposedly built in 1965 but it looks like it's more likely from the 1950s. There was a text panel on the pole directly below this sign originally which read: "Wolfe Nursery. Money DOES Grow on Trees." The sign is now displayed at the Stephenville Museum. For more, see this website. [map]

The Budget Inn sign bore a striking resemblance to the classic Holiday Inn signs. This photo is from 2008. By 2011, the motel was still there but the sign was gone.

The Sulphur Springs Muffler Center sign originally advertised for a mobile home dealer. Another example of these signs is in Cookeville, TN. This sign used to revolve. [map]

This Brookshire's supermarket sign originally advertised for the Village Supermarket, hence the "V" at the top. It is probably from the 1950s or possibly 1960s. As the city grew and the supermarket closed, the sign was moved to this location and adapted for Brookshire's. I don't know if the "V" had neon originally. [map]

This Chrysler Airtemp sign hung above the Aycock Distributing Co., a wholesale sporting goods company. In 1934, Chrysler began producing Airtemp air conditioners. In the 1970s, this part of the company's business was sold to Fedders. I'm not sure of the connection between the sign and the business. This sign was gone by 2021.

The Tri State Motel was originally called the Two State Motel. The sign is probably from the 1950s. In 2008, the sign's arrow and revolving star were removed. This photo is from 2011. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]
