Does anyone have any information on a 42" ssp Red Crown Gasoline sign that has "Alliance Advertising Co" in very small letters below the "O" and "L" in gasoline?

I read the thread regarding the current sign on Ebay with the adv 1986 or thereabouts but haven't seen anything on ALLIANCE. Thanks in advance,
Juju

...a picture is worth a thousand words. I only counted 55 words in your post that's including your signature block.

I read this as Alliance Advertising Co. I could be wrong but would love to hear from some experts. Thanks

Heya Judy, Welcome to Oldgas! Nice Sign!
I am not a expert but the web is a amazing tool that can turn a ordinary guy into a semi adept researcher!
While I was browsing your post a thought came to me that your sign might say Reliance Advertising Co?
Here is a post that lists porcelain sign manufacturers.

Looks like your sign is a early one and I would suggest that you give this post (and others across the web) a look for a similar sign to yours hanging in front of a Standard station.

You made my day!! Reliance not Alliance. There is a Red Crown Mini-Museum in Lafayette, Indiana that I believe has the same sign on the side of the building. Here's the photo. Bought the sign at an estate sale less than a mile from my house. Did some research prior to the sale and figured it was a good buy. There were also some old crown globes for sale but had no knowledge on that subject. I believe the owner worked for Amoco/BP and if he was old may have been a Standard Oil employee back when.
