    Awesome signs. They made them with style back in the day.

    Most of our cus­tomers dont want to spend that extra lit­tle bit. We are see­ing lots of peo­ple opt for illu­mi­nated LED signs. http://​www​.air​bor​ne​signs​.co​.nz/​c​o​m​m​e​r​c​i​a​l​-​i​n​d​u​s​t​r​i​a​l​-​v​e​h​i​c​l​e​-​o​r​-​w​i​n​d​o​w​-​w​e​-​d​o​-​i​t​-​a​l​l​/​i​l​l​u​m​i​n​a​t​ed/
