Information and history on rear of plaques:

02-321 Chocolate Barn   Though national ads are fading from barn sides,  you may be able to find local businesses using the sides of well-positioned barns to advertise their products.   If it were only real,  this "Cat's Paw Chocolates" sign would send you driving to the nearest store to pick up a box of "purr-fectly divine chocolates".

02-322 Chicken Dinners Barn   Everything from caverns to tobacco were widely advertised on barn sides.   The fictitious ad on this barn touts a local restaurant serving the best chicken dinners in town.   And our dog,  Chipper,  says it all - just like Elsie the Cow!

02-323 Frycrest Dairy Barn   Barn walls were some of the nation's first billboards.   This Frycrest Dairy sign advertises the farm I grew up on.   Although this advertisment never existed,  it says a lot about the pride our family had in producing milk.

02-324 Basket Barn   A barn at the corner of a busy intersection can be the perfect billboard.   This barn advertises the handmade baskets of a ficitious lady who lives no more than a mile from this intersection.   She has the best and the cheapest billboard in town...don't you think?
