South New Jersey Road Trip
By Sara Bogue, American Biltrite Inc, Moorestown, NJ

I've always had a penchant for old, funky design elements, whether it's furniture, automobiles, signs, or tchotchkes; they've always fascinated and entertained me. Combine that with dabbling in photography and I used to find myself going for a drive to nowhere to see what I could discover.

This all occurred ten years before I ever worked in the sign industry — how strange! One of my favorite subjects turned out to be signs, especially neon, in any condition. Standing back I realize that my home contains a Philip Morris metal sign, a Cocktail & Luncheonette metal sign (allegedly from a bowling alley), a Gaines Dog Food clock, and a Borden's Ice Cream neon sign. Despite the simple collectibles, my most favorite possessions related to this hobby are the memories and photographs that I've scooped up along the way.
