I have thought about painting something on it with my buisness name.Im pretty handy with an airbrush.I thought about doing some faux signs to hang up until I can find the real deal. I like the old sunray service signs I have seen

Found this stuff up in the attic along with some other cool stuff.All the brochures still had their order forms inside and the fabric samples were still all intact!
The insurance brochure also had all the paperwork inside.
All the old register tapes from 1955 were still in boxes as well!
I found out that originally this was called "Reds DX Service" and was owned by a guy named Paul Childress..who I'm assuming was "Red"

Cool stuff. If the fabric is still intact, it truly is "wonder fabric"

The managers uniform was 12.00.HAHA
Yeah the fabric is still intact! Pretty tough stuff for being housed in an uninsulated attic for 60 years

In my opinion,that paper is irreplaceble and is worthy of framing for permenant protection and display.You can find the other stuff,but you CAN NEVER find those items from your own station.That kind of history is simply the best that it gets!!IMO.

thats the plan! I'm going to frame it all up and hang it on the walls in the "waiting" room. I also found a map dated Feb 1955 of a town near by my place that is also worthy of hanging. There is a "Big A Tires " Key rack too that I hung up for customers car keys.
The big 5 quart can is still half full of oil too! I found a couple of the Old spouts that stick in the cans as well.
