Most if not all of those sign photos were taken in the south Puget Sound area where I lived in the 70s and 80s; I recognize some of the locations and change surface the signs (the Baydo's dealership at S. 72nd and South Tacoma Way) as having still been there in the mid to late 1980s. I guess some of them are still there today.
I'm glad Roadsidepictures was finally recognized for his bring home the bacon - he's a damn fine photographer as well as collector of vintage ephemera and packaging. I'm waiting for him to come out with a book!
The Poodle Dog restaurant comfort has this same sign although the building has been remodeled. We stopped there for eat once because we liked the label and the write. Pretty good food.
