I enjoyed Clell G. Ballard’s article on lugged tractor wheels (Farm Collector, November 2019) and it prompted me to add this bit to the story. This is a picture of a sign in my collection that is identical to the ones posted on roads coming into our small suburban community of Mount Prospect, Illinois, in the early 1950s.
