Will be down in Dallas visiting the in-laws with a side trip down to San Antonio. Appreciate hearing about any good picking spots or must-visit stores and shops.
Thanks so much for any thoughts.
Looking for Canadian quart cans and items. White Rose, North Star...

There is a place on I35 just south of San Marcos that has lot's of old signs for sale. Can't remember the name--it is on the north side of the interstate across the highway from the big outlet mall.

He was a really good friend. Garland Warren. He bought a lot of collectibles, but more importantly he was a great guy and enjoyed this old stuff.

Garland passed away? Dang... he was indeed a cool guy. Had a HUGE collection. I was at his store one day eating a burger and enjoying a chocolate shake (while my wife shopped at the outlet mall) and was looking at several signs--his daughter called him and he came by. We visited for an hour or so about some stuff at the store then he asked if I was in a hurry... of course I wasn't so he drove me to his house. Wow! he had HUNDREDS of old advertising signs covering every inch of interior wall space and just stacked up everywhere! I ended up talking him out of several of them that I bought as a package deal--still have them proudly displayed in my shop...

BTW Coltex... you would prob be interested in something I have. 2 1/2' tall, 3D, red porcelinized block letters that came off the front of the Coltex Distributorship in
Colorado City that spells out "COL-TEX".

Hey slingshot, thank you but probably not. Those letters sound neat, but I am more interested in rare items from Texas. Golden West, pioneer globe, etc. Thank you though. I spent a lot of time with Garland. He was a smart, great guy. Glad you saw all of the stuff at his house. It was covered... LOL

Col-Tex was a small refinery in Colorado City, TX from the '20s to the '60s. There were a few Col-Tex stations... memorabilia is very rare.
