Goodrich Tire Company, took the initiative to create road signs for the traveling, public. The earliest road signs were made from sheets of metal, with dimples in them to create letters and numbers. Later, versions were then coated with porcelain and painted bright, colors to help them stand out and last longer. Warning signs, were typically round with a red background and white lettering, for things such as railroad crossings. Signs giving directions, were also circular but had a blue back-ground. Arrows would, then point in the direction of a town with the town name and, distance in miles printed on them. Lastly, all of these signs, had the words Goodrich on top and Tires on the bottom to help, promote the rubber tire maker. " (from Vanderbilt Cup Races, website)
