Description
Bright and Early sign on a red brick wall in Hico, Texas.
What was advertising like before the electronic age? Back in the days, ads were as big as a barn, literally.
One of the ways of advertising used in town was to paint large advertising signs on the side of buildings. One of the oldest of these signs can be seen in Hico, TX - a large sign advertising Bright and Early Coffee and Tea. Bright and Early are in large blue letters on a white background while Coffee and Tea are at the bottom in white letters on a black background with a house and some trees just above.
Today, finding a Bright & Early sign is as hard to find as a Model-T Ford. Both have vanished from the American landscape.
