THE RELIABLE “R”

Route 66 Neon - Baxter Springs, Kansas

ROUTE 66

Phonetically, “R” is for writing. As I searched my R-chives, R was overrepresented in beginning words in signage, particularly words in product advertisement and more specifically on Route 66. Included in this journal article are three signs from The Mother Road.

Rainbo Push Bar - Carthage, Missouri on Route 66

Reliable Logo - Hackberry, Arizona on Route 66

Additional advertisements were photographed on a Roadmaster with portholes in Kansas, and the Restaurant Rialto in Croatia.
