Buying a sign can be pleasant
Jans Sign Shop next to Bories Delicatessen features lighted
protable signs with flashing arrows, permanent decal signs,
small plastic signs that won’t fade, peel or crack, featuring
many type styles. E. C. Mitchell is the owner-operator who
Buying a sign in Liv-
ingston can be a pleasant ex-
perience if you buy it from
Jan’s Sign Shop located next
door to Bories Resturant.
E. C. Mitchell named the
shop after his wife of forty
years, Janett. He formerly
owned A & M Machine Shop
at the same location and has
been making signs on the
side for the past 2 years.
Of course he was already
retired after 20 years in the
lumber business-end a shop
in Shepherd. But the
machine shop finally had to
go because it’s hard on Mr.
Mitchell feet and legs to
stand at the lathe al' ' yloi

shop that has become a
warehouse, and opened with
lovely new machines for
making special kinds of
signs in January.
The reason it’s such a
pleasure to buy a sign are
several. First you probably
won’t find a cheaper sign
anywhere. That's because
Mr. Mitchell is only making
signs to suppliment his in-
come. He knows that he
could get much more for his
signs but until he has to, he
won’t.
In addition to the price,
you’ll enjoy talking to this
pleasant, amiable
gentleman. He tries very
hard to please and enjoy his
work. Though he won’t ad-
mit to being an artist, he cer-
tainly could be classified as
an artisan. Jan’s signs are of
a higher quality than
average, whether it’s a
small "for rent” sign of poly
styrene and fade proof paint

vention and he is always ex-
perimenting and looking for
ways to improve his signs.
Art work is available for
any kind of sign. ‘‘If
something guess me trouble,
it may take me a while but
I’ll work it out” he modestly
states.
The Mitchell’s have one
son Elmer Earl who lives in
Conroe. They attend
Chesswood Baptist.
Mr. Mitchell has racks of
his unique 59 cents plastic
signs in 5 local stores in-
cluding Minimax and One
Stop Grocery, and as soon as
his racks arrive, will have
many more. His favorite is
the portable sign with
flashing arrows, which he
will deliver. Most of the time
Jan’s Sign Shop can give one
day service so give Mr. Mit-
chell a call. 327-5889.
