Our Sign

Our Sign and Its Messages

The story behind our sign and the messages that have given our passers-by a reason to laugh, to consider or to inspire.

The idea of the message board was born in 1998 when we wanted to share our achievement of winning the Better Business Bureau's Torch Award for Market Place Ethics for Chicago & Northern Illinois.

One surprising result was the number of individuals who shared that they had never before noticed us although we had been here for over 24 years!

Over the years, folks regularly stop and take a picture of a message they appreciate or make a point to come in the office and tell us they like our sign. We've even gained new customers because they like the messages we post.

Our "pre-2000 sign"

Here are a few more laughs and inspirations!

Your mind can be either
your prison or your palace.
What you make it is yours to decide

Believe you can and
you're halfway there.

We never really grow up,
we only learn
how to act in public.

The problem with doing nothing
is that you never know
when you're finished.

You are never too old
to set another goal or
to dream a new dream.

Sometimes you will never know
the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory.

If you are the smartest person
in the room, then
you are in the wrong room

It isn't where you came from.
It's where you're going
that counts.

Happiness
is not by chance,
but by choice.

Life is like riding a bicycle.
To keep your balance,
you must keep moving.

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

The most wasted of days
is one without
laughter.

If I cannot do great things,
I can do small things
in a great way.

People who are crazy enough
to think they can change
the world, are the ones who do.

The best way to get started -
quit talking,
and begin doing.

To find out a girl's faults,
praise her to
her girlfriends

Today's accomplishments
were yesterday's
impossibilities.

Some cause happiness
wherever they go, others,
whenever they go!

A smile is a curve
that sets
everything straight.

Act as if what you do
makes a difference.
It does.

Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds
will continue in others.

Remember, today is the
tomorrow you
worried about yesterday.

Tell me and I forget,
teach me and I may remember,
involve me and I learn.

Don't think about
your errors or failures, otherwise,
you'll never do a thing.
