Someone earlier mentioned Mail Pouch Tobacco painted on the roofs of barns. If you were in the southeast , See Rock City was more commonly seen on barn roofs. (red barn, black roof , large white block letters. <br />Also billboards appropriate to the era. From my distant recollections of being a child, the billboards advertised tourist attractions, (See Ruby Falls, Visit Silver Springs, etc.) or local motels and sometimes restaurants. <br /> <br />As a slightly off topic comment on the above, When I was a child we had a next door neighbor named Ruby. Whenever we would travel and I would see one of the 'See Ruby Falls' signs I would burst out laughing and say something like ' Oh, Ruby fell agin!'. While this was uproariously funny to a seven year old, I'm sure my parents got tired of it after about the second sign.
