Well after talking with Jim I have decided to give COTM a try. Many of you have said you would like to see this thread started again, so with that being said I am hoping that a lot of you will participate and make this thread great again. If any of you would like to see certain companies send me a pm and we will try and make it happen. Nothing on this site will change unless all of us make it change. I know it will never be like it was but we can get some of it back if we all try young and old members. One thing I have to mention please out of respect for everyone do not copy any of the pictures so that you can have something reproduced. Many people here have taken years to compile there collections and do not like that being done. I think that is why some do not post pictures anymore is because that has been done many times.
I thought I would start this month with something kind of broad to make it easy. So COTM this month will be farm bureaus and COOP's. so if you have any globes, cans, signs, maps, anything let see them.
Also I just talked with Jim and there is a way to watermark your photos if need be I haven't tried this yet but will very soon.

Jay, those 5 quarts are great! We used to have the Coop with the map in a quart just like your 5 quart. The early plow scene graphics are awesome!
Here are some Coop related 1 pound grease tins in from our collection.

I want to thank everyone who has participated this month. By participating we are showing old and new members how great this site really is and what it's suppose to be about. There are two days left for COOP so if you have it post it. Also a reminder if anyone would like to host for a month let me know and we will make it happen. Bob Richards will be the host for the next two months. I know he has put a lot if time in it and it should be very enjoyable to see.

When i lived in Hillsboro N.D. in the early 80's this man then in his mid 50's gave me this tin PENN UNION MOTOR OIL sign. He showed me the globe but did'nt want to sell it.I stopped to see him maybe once every 10 years or so, to check on the globe. I stopped yesterday and he was ready to sell. His Dad worked at the Station in the 30's and 40's. He had them for years and then were handed down to him.
