Originally from Bolivar, Tennessee, I have collected advertising signs and related items for over 50 years. It was only recently that I became attracted to cardboard streetcar advertising signs. Initially, the superb graphics caught my attention and then I became fascinated with the history associated with the creation and use of these cards as well as with the companies, products, and services offered. The restoration of these cards along with the discovery that Barron Collier, a Memphis native born in 1873, became the Father of Streetcar Advertising in America only made my interest in this hobby more enjoyable. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.
