Alan,
You could use just about any one of the signs that don't specifically identify a location. The car ads, gasoline billboards and Coke signs would show up anywhere. Tom models the midwest, so he does include a lot of regional stuff in these collections, but there's so much to choose from (100+sets and counting!) you shouldn't have to look far.
What I've done is copied all of these files into a master file in my computer, then I go through using my photo editor tool to cut only the signs I need out, then cluster them into a new sheet.
That makes printing more efficient.

On one condition: Only if you want to do so!
Conemaugh Road & Traction circa 1956
Show us all your sign usage!.......Keep checking back for more signs!.....Here are a few more.
Wow!!I remember the old Frank's Restraunt in Downtown Schulenburg,Texas!!!
The building's still there although the restraunt moved closer to I10 in the 70's!!!
Ah Yes,Good Ol'Reddy Kilowatt!!I remember him very well from my childhood!!
Sometime in the 90's,they relaced him with"Zigster"!!!
Dammit,I Liked Reddy Kilowatt!!!
I liked the Ritter's Gas Sign that you included in your set.
I remember seeing Ritter's Gas Stations as a kid in South and Central Texas.
However,I can't find too much out about them online.
If anyone has some info about them they'd be willing to share,I'd appreciate it.
Yes Indeedy!!I've been looking for an easy choice of billboards and signs for my HO MKT/MP themed layout and most of them'll come in handy!!!
With a few exceptions,most of em'll work quite for Central Texas ca.1959,and the ones that don't I figure they'd look good outside an antique store!!!
I've downloaded a few from the Billboards of the Past Website,but one of the problems is that they come out fullsized!!However,I've found out that Staples'll reduce em'down to HO size for a very small cost and no questions asked!!
FedEx/Kinko's on the other hand won't do it claiming"Copyright Law"!!!
Anyway,keep up the good work!!
While theyr'e at it,get a few movie posters from the 50's downloaded and downsized!!!
The only thing I don't like about the new Smokey the Bear Commercials is how when Smokey reads the'Riot Act'to a would be arsonist,he sounds very feminine,but at the end,you hear the deep voice of Sam Elliott!!
