I wish i had a picture, but i saw a sign in a guys barn today. It was a great, very old flange sign that said so and so gas station and poultry. very cool sign, but i couldnt figure out what company it was. I did some research and found this company - http://mhgas.com/history.html does anybody have any signs from this brand? I think ill go back and get it, ive never seen one like it. he said his dad got it years ago. any info would be greatly appreciated.

It might not be, a "poultry service station" could be a place where they were slaughtered or maybe cleaned? I don't know LOL

Don't get the combo of Poultry and First Aid products...??? Or even gas station advertising first aid products as their gas station sign...isn't that kinda of specialized?

Whoops! Never mind...read the other thread above that explains it. blush

Dang, DB was right. Treatment for mange mites...

Conkey's stock book was written in 1911 and mentions a Nox-i-cide dip.
