History of American marketing on display at Mae's Glass House
Curtis Knight collects old bottles and signs, sharing tales of Coca‑Cola bottles, Wells Fargo signs, Texaco and Havoline histories, and vintage advertising gibberish. Illinois police warn of fake solicitations for a police journal, while a 1899 Green River Whiskey sign can fetch up to 650 dollars. Knight and Mae run the shop in Houston, and Lewis University hosts a three week speed reading course starting February 13.
