Out of curiosity I Googled Mail Pouch and found out the barns were painted from 1890 to 1992 over much of the country. At first the farmers were paid $1 to $2 dollars a year, but they also got their whole barn painted. That was a good deal for the farmers.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01801967071649685995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8651794525042598507.post-32840608714700087232011-01-31T21:07:03.268-05:002011-01-31T21:07:03.268-05:00Neat barn, Carletta....

It seems like an interesting way to advertise without having to put up huge billboards that distract from the wonderful landscape.
