With much appreciation to our supporters!
Signs of Our Times would not exist without the amazing support we have been given by our Boise sign companies. It is often at the last minute that we receive the call that we have been gifted a sign to add to our collection. Our local sign companies have never failed to send staff in big flatbed trucks with cherry pickers to take the signs down and transport them safely to storage.
Our gratitude to Aim Sign Company, Classic Design Studio, Golden West, Image National, Lytle Signs, Rocket Neon, and YESCO.
Storage spaces have also been donated. Access Storage, Golden West, Idaho State Historical Museum, Boise, Public Library, Shaver’s and Yanke Machine Shop have all been more than generous and patient storing the signs and accommodating those of us working on the project - giving tours, adding to the collection - and now, starting to move them out for restoration and life in a new "light'!
Additionally, several signs have already been restored pro bono by
Image National, Classic Design Studio and Rocket Neon.
