A remarkable archive comprising over 75 photographs documenting freshly installed mid-century signage at locations throughout the United States (Ohio, Illinois, California, Texas, New York, Michigan, Kentucky, Washington, Louisiana, Florida, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Tennessee, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, and New Mexico).
Each of the freestanding or building-mounted signs possess components produced by the Chicago-based Wagner Sign Service, including the a variety of plastic and metal letters, frames, openings, backboards, glass, and other styles of mounting assembly. The informative captions identify the "Wagner equipment" alongside detailing the local fabricators and erectors of each job, while some even describe the use and success of the depicted signage.
