The industrial looking large (3' x 4') type at gas stations that has springs to deal with wind. Anyone have a source? Collected too many catalogs, or done too little organization of them. Know I had it somewhere.

Thanks Timi, No luck yet searching the web. I tried directory assistance & out of Austin, Houstan, & Dallas, there was one May-something Advertising. They said they were not the right one, that they got wrong numbers all the time, & that they had no idea where or who the REAL May Advertising was.

Do you remember the city? or web address?

Doug, that information is at our former store. I know they are called Windmasters, and the company name is something like MDI - Merchandising Displays Incorporated? In Michigan? They were about $135 the last time I bought one. They are spendy but very well built. The local car was has one that is six or seven years old and it looks great. Vic G

Thanks Vic & Timi,

Strange how a search engine will not find a site when you ask for it by name. Maybe because of the space between words. I actually tried that URL (www.mayadvertising.com) but that must have been one of the 2-3 times a day that Netscape just decides to freeze up. Or I spelled it wrong

Anyway both sites had good images for my client to see today & I'll get call backs on Monday with price & freight info.

Hey Doug - why don't you just make your own outa 2x4's & 4x4"s - lot less expensive - --just made 2 "free standing signs"- 1 4x8; 1 4x6; both 2-sided - both on Omega sign board - I probly spent less on lumber than youl'll pay for one of those pre-fabs----If your installation requires that set-up - I recommend you finding someone local that welds - 'probly your local fence man - -just hired one myself to install 2 - 4x4 steel posts - 16 ft. tall - guy only charged me $60.......plus costs of posts....which was $119.......bottom line is - check out your local people - see who is hungry............Carl
