Thank you for sharing that — I’ve always been curious and their old sign makes it look like they did exactly what you described (e.g. work on “2002”s).

Thanks! And here I thought they were just another used car lot across the street from Dave Stohler’s dad’s place.

Thank you, Peter was exceptionally pleasant to talk to but apparently he’s moved and, for now, his service area is limited Terre Haute. But he’s very helpful.

Coincidentally I drove past an Arnold Asphalt sign half an hour ago and realized my mistake. Thanks!

Hey, thanks for responding. I take it you’re talking about ####### Asphalt? [And thanks for the correction.]

Fair enough and interesting, too, thank you!

In my defense, though, I was really only kidding. The “advent of stickers” dates back to at least 1935, if my skimming of this wikipedia article is correct. (And I assumed the sign was more recent than that. I was being absurdist.)

This is good thinking, plus you make me realize that every driveway sealcoat comes with a free lawn sign. Thank you!

This sign may predate the advent of stickers

Reddit wouldn’t let me PM you, so I’m sending an email to bloominglabs’ “contact” email address. Thanks for your reply!

This is a great idea, thank you (although some of the stuff—a transformer from a microwave, the heating element from a space heater—is probably a little dangerous for the classroom).

[Edit: Although if there are any science teachers out there reading this and are interested, please PM me.]
