Turn out the lights sign, Seattle 1971

Bob McDonald, of Seattle, made the most-famous billboard ever put up in Seattle. McDonald and Jim Youngren put the words, "Will the last person leaving SEATTLE -- Turn out the lights" near the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. This is part of his scrapbook of press he has received throughout the years. This is a sketch made with his slogan.
