If you were a dealer back in the day, and you wanted to purchase the above pump from Bennett you could order it painted and ready to go. The lead signs were also supplied by Bennett, but where they went depended on what state you lived or even what county or city. Many of the locations had laws as where the lead sign should be on the pump. No laws, the lead signs were usually put on the sides to give more room to the decals or pump signs to be put on the front. Laws, then the lead signs went on the front.
