Backs of Lorry/Vans

Recommended Posts

Anyone recall some the 'humorous' slogans that some companies had on the back of their vehicles around the 1960's ? One was a soda/pop delivery firm that had 'Thirst come, thirst served' (I think they were from Rotherham), another being 'A blind man drives this van', of course they sold window shades etc.

Hi stpetre,

 

Would the Rotherham one have been Hagues' at Parkgate, Rotherham?......

I used to garage my Ever Ready van near them in the mid/late sixties.

 

Here I am in 1972, the only photo I have of the van, outside my home then at Bramley, Rotherham....
