Other Information

Photos 2-9 are views of Harley painting MPS 48-35-12 on the Helme Tobacco Co, Office Building, in Wheeling.

Note in Photo 1 that the background color at the top of the Chatanooga Tobacco sign has been changed from Yellow (shown during the original painting) to black.

Photo 11 taken by Myron Huffman, in 1973, shows that there was a different Mail Pouch Ad on the billboard before Harley repainted it sometime in the 1980's.
