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?
