Several drivers are visible with their rigs - which include Pearl Beer vehicles and Coca-Cola trucks. The one common thread seems to be the lettering. In some photos vehicles are parked in front of store or wall signs - two signs in one photo.

Coca-Cola of Cameron, Texas sent out two-man sign painting crews over a five county area which included Fayette and Lee counties, although this album seems to predate the team of “Eddie and Monk” - whose work is still visible in Flatonia.

The donor of the album - or anyone wishing to identify the talented painter may do so by contacting us.
