Page 80 The words STOP were printed on two opposite sides and the word GO on the other two sides. The sign itself was attached to a spring in the concrete so if a car hit it it would bend over. There was a light in the top so the stop & go could be read at night. Before the big 3 & AMC took over the car business there were a lot of different kinds manufactured. Some that i can think of now were; Auburn, Buick, Chevrolet, Cord (a front wheel drive), Dodge, Durant, ford, Franklin, Hupmobile, Hudson, Jewett, Lincoln, Maxwell, Morman, Nash, Oakland, Overland, Oldsmobile, Packard, Reo, Star, Studebaker and Wyllis Knight. These were the cars that the sop sign had to face and it took quit a beating at times. Chain stores were just getting started in the 1920's and Red Owl and Gambles both opened stores in Huron while we were there. Gambles was a good place to buy repairs for the Model T. |
