Paul Bunyan at Palmer Hardware

My Grandpa, Don Hobart, worked for Ace Hardware in the 1950s and 60s.  I am pretty sure this is from Elkhart, IN. View full size.

One nearby

There's a Muffler Man just up the road from me in someones yard, along with a giant Chicken and a Statue of Liberty head.

It's been there a long time.

Surprised nobody has axed

Where's his ax? When I was a kid, a local lumber yard had a Paul Bunyan identical to that out front. He held an ax, as this one obviously did at some point. Our Bunyan moved out some time back also. I've always wondered where such a thing ends up.

Moved

Apparently, this Paul Bunyan has been moved to Virginia as of September 2011.
