Looks to be from here. It seems that Elvis did their jingle in 1954. The only commercial he ever did.

Very cool find in general but especially cool with the info CladSpends2 provided, as I’m an Elvis fan and I love the connection to The King.

I’d definitely play up the Elvis commercial tie-in in any listing I wrote if I were you ~ open up a whole additional group of prospective buyers.

Neat old sign. Are you near DFW? Pretty sure Southern Maid Donuts is based here.

Painted by hand in the old style. That's a sweet piece of history.

That would look sweet hanging in garage.

Nice find sir!

Yup. Just the way it is with some clear coat or something to prevent further rust.
