Old L.H. Hall from Wausau is long gone, so we can't ask him why no phone number or address on the dealership's thermometer. He was quite the businessman and a very active promoter. He had repair garages, an auto dealership, and a large "Hall" branded oil company operations in that town from the late teens on. I've attached some photos, which include a good-sized, NOS painted "Hall's Certified Motor Oil" sign I have.

L.H. was quite the colorful character, and even ran for county sheriff in 1942. Pictures exist (I don't have one handy) of an open touring car Hall built in the late teen's. His dreams to enter the auto manufacturing business ended with that prototype, however. His Dodge and Chrysler dealership remained in business into the 1980's, if I remember correctly. John.
