When he was in college, my father worked some as a sign painter. One of dad’s schemes was to paint signs on his jalopy so folks in the greater Statesboro area of the 1930s could take advantage of low cost advertising.

In retrospect, my father was ahead of his time with Mobile Ad Delivery.

The photo (Circa 1938). Dad in passenger seat with then Dean Zach Henderson driving and Miss Sophie Johnson (of the Johnson Hall fame at Georgia Southern) in the rumble seat take a spin his sign-mobile. He’d paint local ads on this for a modest fee. Notice the “WGN” monogram on the door.

Twenty-three skeedoo, baby.
