In the past couple of weeks, the iconic Savings gas station in Tupelo, Mississippi was razed. I understand they saved the neon "SAVINGS" sign. This weekend I was able to secure the final globe of the three versions known in order to complete the set.
Collecting the Mississippi companies: Billups, Southland, Rose Oil,Crystal Oil, Barq's

Great set Dave, I have 2 of the 3 myself. 90 miles up the road we still have "Dodges Stores" which is what the Savings stations became. Great ole southern chain to collect. Now if only they had porcelain signs..........LOL
