Customers and Communities : Reaching Rural America : Folk Art Mailboxes

back



"My husband . . . seems to always have a project in the works. . . this winter his 'Mr. Peace to the World and Thumbs Up' mailbox was born. Out of scrap pieces of tubing and a discarded mailbox arose our blue-eyed, balding, front yard friend. He has certainly slowed traffic if not stopped it on several occasions since he took his place early this spring." —Nena Fawbush of Battleground, Indiana

This mailbox man was created by Thomas Fawbush of Battleground, Indiana
