These Humorous Stinker Station Signs Helped to Provide Comic Relief for Motorists in Idaho During the 1950s and ’60s
When traveling to distant places, it is well to remember where you come from. If you come from Idaho, chances are you are familiar with the Stinker gas stations, which used to put up gag signs along the roads. Those bright yellow Stinker Station signs all with black print truly were an “Idaho only” institution. The Stinker gas stations used to break the monotony of traveling through southern Idaho’s miles of sagebrush with their comic signs.
Farris Lind was the genius behind Idaho’s iconic yellow road signs of the 1950s and 1960s. The signs were not only witty but captured nationwide attention.
Ruth Mildred Carpenter joined her Heavenly Father Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2020.
Ruth was right where she always wanted to be, next to her beloved husband, Robert, in her home, where she felt safe and loved. Although her family and friends grieve the loss of her on Earth, we all know she has found peace in heaven with the Holy Spirit that has guided her throughout her life.
Ruth was born in New Meadow, a borough of New York, Dec. 12, 1945, to Dorothy and Donald Sonner, but did not stay there for long. As an infant, she moved with her mom and dad to Sunnyside, Wash., where she became a big sister. Ruth, her mom and her baby sister, Donna, moved back to New York for a few years before later moving to Lewiston. It was there that Ruth became a big sister to Keith, Paul and Nancy, and her stepfather, Pat Purcell, became a part of her life.
