Ralph's Barber Shop features it's lettering very clearly on the outside marquee. Catch the reference to drinking Coca-Cola in bottles? This shop is located in Central Illinois.

This sign for the Better Shoes For Less factory outlet is a reminder to old main street America. The colors are in red, white, and blue. Not sure what type of business resided here in the past and whether or not it was always a shoe store.

Check out a couple of the great Native American themed signs at the Indian Village located in St. Ignace, MI.

(Near right) The Indian Village teepee sign angled to catch the eye of travelers passing by.

(Far right) The indian with bow and arrow sign. This sign looks like it lights up at night. Neon.

 

 

UPDATE 12/08 : The Indian Village Curios is still open for business and close enough to downtown and the ferry docks to see some good traffic coming through. These are the only neon signs left at the Indian Village Curios since they took the neon tubes off of the signs on the building itself. Many thanks to Alan Culley for photos and update. 12-08
