| E. H. Hursh Insurance Agency Fallon, NV |
Lariat Motel Fallon, NV |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
The E. H. Hursh Insurance Agency was established in 1919. This sign appears to be from the 1950s or 1960s. [map]
The Lariat Motel was built in 1953 and this sign is from then. The cowboy's arm and lariat are lit in three-part animation. The neon lariat moves backward, forward and then encircles the text part of the sign. The motel was demolished in 2005. At that point, the sign was donated to the Churchill Arts Council. In 2013, the sign was restored by YESCO in Reno, NV. It is now located at the Oats Park Art Center in Fallon. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. [map] |
| I.H. Kent Company Fallon, NV |
Ford Fallon, NV |
 |
 |
|
The I.H. Kent Company was established in 1892 as a mercantile operation. The company is still operating as the Kent Supply Company. This sign looks like it might be from the 1920s. [map]
This Ford sign is installed inside Fallon Ford-Toyota. The company started out downtown in 1956 as the Anderson Ford-Mercury dealership. I believe the sign was located there as a pole sign. The business moved to this location in 1976. |
