Standing next to the route 25 entrance to the Heath's Hardware store wearing a sign board that promotes the Heath's Super-Market......I like that idea....probably a much more effectve sign than your standard 3' x 8' illuminated sign, you know. I could wave and smile, and if someone flips me off, I'll just ignore it and wave back.....ho-hum...probably all standard procedure for the human sign-board biz.

What's that Yoga pose where you just stand there like a tree with one leg and one arm up....oh yeah...it's called the tree pose. Standing like a tree on an indian summer, warm December day....holding a large, double-sign for hours.....could be worse...

Say, you know, that Heath''s Hardware store sign right there on route 25 is hugh, and probably not encumbered with any low key, muted, Vermont style, sign restrictons like the Super-Market could have. Maybe Heath's could get creative and come up with a dual-purpose Hardware Store - Super Market sign message and fit it all onto the existing, huge Hardware store sign space. It already has got the absolute best visibility spot right there on route 25. You knows what I means ?

Next thing you know, the Heath's Hardware Store will be selling 35 cent, self-serve, cups of coffee just like the hardware store up in Plymouth. Would that be good for business?
