TEXAS OLD
NEON
The Dan Holzschuh Collection

| "I have
been designing, building and collecting neon signs all my life. I
am a native Texan and started photographing signs as I saw them starting
to disappear thirty years ago. I also rescued all the ones I could."

Ghost Story
"I noticed
your collection of ghost stories is missing the one for Fort
Worth book depository murder. I have put three signs on the building
for three different businesses and I've heard plenty of stories. I
can;t verify what I heard, but what I personally saw was the margarita
machine completely empty itself overnight. (It was the type you have
to physically turn the throttle down and lock.) In the morning it
was up.The
managers all complained about the buzzer on the delivery door going
off at odd hours and no one there when the door was opened."
(Above) is the Chisholm Trail mural building in Sundance Square. My
95.9 Ranch Radio sign is on the corner. - Dan Holzschuh, June 27,
