Description

There was a time in America when salesmen travelled from door to door selling everything from bibles to neon signs. (Some still do, even today!) Follow along as a young girl and her dad pack up their convertible on a summer day and hit the road selling signs - stopping at family-owned stores and restaurants where a new sign really can make the difference. Filled with charming details of small-town American life in the early 1950s, this satisfying picture book is bursting with illustrations which evoke both Norman Rockwell and Robert McKlosky.
