c. 1930s-1940s; Stewart-Warner Corp. - Chicago, IL
Double-sided painted metal dealership advertising sign promoting Stewart-Warner's South Wind automobile heater line. Each side features a vivid yellow background with black and red typography surrounding an illustration of the streamlined South Wind heater, above the text "AUTHORIZED SALES & SERVICE." The sign was intended for display by authorized automotive service stations and dealerships offering Stewart-Warner heating systems, retaining the desirable prewar automotive graphics and original form with mounting holes along the upper edge.
Founded in 1905, Stewart-Warner became one of America's premier automotive equipment manufacturers, producing gauges, heaters, radios, speedometers, and other accessories supplied to both aftermarket dealers and major automobile manufacturers. The South Wind gasoline-fired heater became one of the company's best-known cold-weather automotive products during the 1930s and 1940s.
