Bowes Seal Fast (PG XIV)


Painted Gentleman 14. Who said "It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all"? or "Better late than never"? Well, I don't know where I'm going with this but here is a barn, south of Carlisle, PA on Route 11. When I passed it last summer I turned around, came back and took a couple pictures. A few days later, though, they had finished putting up new siding and this piece of barn art has returned to the unseen. Thanks to GOOGLE I found out that Bowes Seal Fast is still around and have their own website. Apparently they started manufacturing tire repair patches and equipment, in 1919, and have since expanded their line of goods. You CAN learn just by reading the writing on the wall.
