Most people do not stop to realize how many of their fond memories
involve advertising signs. Although these neon spectaculars,
billboards, and even signs painted directly onto brick walls were
created expressly to persuade customers to buy products or
patronize businesses, many such signs remained in place for so long
that they became beloved landmarks in their own right. For Images
of America: Vintage Birmingham Signs, Tim Hollis has scoured the
archives of Birmingham's former sign companies, as well as other
private collections, to compile some of the best remembered or most
obscure signs that dotted the urban and suburban landscape. Here
readers will again see the Buffalo Rock bottle pouring its ginger
ale into a glass, the Golden Flake clown smiling down at passersby,
the
Barber's milk clock at the Five Points South intersection, and many
more. Through these vintage photographs, readers can once again
visit such once-thriving destinations as Eastwood Mall, Burger in a
Hurry, and the Kiddieland amusement park.
