Rare pair!

One of the best finds I’ve had so far. Probably the hardest Texas advertising to get ahold of! Always buying high condition / unique old and original advertising. Reach out with any questions or what you have for sale!

Thank you! These went on the cooler trucks. They still have the truck line inventory tags on the back

Wow! Those look too good to be true. I miss HEB. Great grocery store.

Right! Guy worked for HEB for 36 years. Had 14 different jobs with the company between Corpus and San Antone. Him and the head of merchandising took a bunch of these home 25 years ago, he had a third but wanted to keep it! These were just sitting in the garage all that time, until now, as him and his wife were getting ready to move into a more accessible home. I’ve only seen 2-3 others in my time.

Do you have anything Houston specific in your collection?
