Re: Let’s go to Minnesota
I just had my original sign redone on my 1916 Ford garage in Kenyon Mn. It was completed yesterday by Mike Meyer signs from Mazeppa , Mn. Note the sign is exactly as it appeared in 1916 including the colors and size. It features Firestone red sidewall, black tread tires.

Re: Let’s go to Minnesota
I often wonder if some of the buildings in these pictures still exist. Found one on Main St in Battle Lake MN. The building next to the Garage was the Bank.

Re: Let’s go to Minnesota
That sign looks great Bob. The name almost should say Bob's Garage.

Re: Let’s go to Minnesota
Bob, Your garage pictures really look nice. Do you have any pictures from back in the teens and twenties when it was an active T garage? It sure would make a nice comparison of then & now.
Thanks,
Keith
