| Independent Order of Odd Fellows Lodge Waxahachie, TX |
Cotten-Bratton Furniture Co. Weatherford, TX |
Studebaker [gone] Weatherford, TX |
 |
 |
 |
|
This Independent Order of Odd Fellows Lodge sign is probably from the 1950s. [map]
The Cotten-Bratton Furniture Co. building was built in 1883 and housed the J.T. Cotten Furniture Company. In 1911, it became Cotten-Bratton. The sign might have been installed in the 1930s. The store is long gone but the sign remained. It was restored in 2023 by Don Smith Signs. This photo is from 2026. [map] This Studebaker sign stood on a lot with about a dozen unrestored Studebaker cars and trucks. The sign was apparently part of a private collection belonging to the Studebaker Farm. This photo is from 2011. By 2012, the sign was gone. These signs were mass-produced and there are a handful of them still on display at dealerships around the country. |

| Cochran Drugs [gone] Wellington, TX |
Frigidaire West, TX |
 |
 |
|
The Cochran Drugs store was gone but this sign was still there when this photo was taken in 2011. By 2013, the sign was gone. These Walgreen Agency signs were mass-produced but are very rare now.
This Frigidaire sign hangs above the former F.G. Gerik Appliance Co. which was in business from at least the 1950s through the 1970s. These neon Frigidaire signs, especially those with embossed letters, are very rare now. [map] |
| Barbee Electric Service Wharton, TX |
Bel-Air Hotel [gone] Wichita Falls, TX |
Catalina Motel Wichita Falls, TX |
YMCA [gone] Wichita Falls, TX |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Barbee Electric Service was established in 1946. This sign might be from then or the 1950s. [map]
The Bel-Air Hotel was long-closed but this sign remained. The four poles on top of the sign appeared to be revolving light beacons. The missing text originally read "and" (middle line) and "Motor Lodge" (bottom line). In 2023, the hotel was demolished and the sign was either removed or destroyed at the same time. The Catalina Motel sign appears to be from the 1950s or 1960s. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map] These YMCA signs were mass-produced but there are only a few of them still displayed around the country. This one was built in the late 1940s. In 2022, YMCA corporate made this location take this sign down since it was "non-compliant" with the current logo. The sign is now stored inside The Burn Shop which built the new YMCA signs. |
| Gene's Tasty Burger [gone] Wichita Falls, TX |
 |
| Gene's Tasty Burger opened in 1959. This sign appeared to be from then. Around 1969, it moved to its current location. It closed in 2023 but there were plans to reopen and refurbish the sign. In 2025, the El Chaton restaurant was moving into the space and installing their own signs. The sign is now displayed at A HREF="../signs/txlubbock2.html" TARGET=_"blank">Cook's Garage in Lubbock, TX. For more, see this website. |
