Sign Warns Drivers: Speed Officer Ahead, Jan. 13, 1926

“Speed Officer Ahead”

Hillsboro, N.C., Jan. 11 (AP)—Just outside the city limits of Hillsboro, east and west of the town, on route No. 10, the Carolina Motor Club has erected on private property signs warning motorists that a speed officer is ahead.

“Warning!,” the sign reads. “Speed officer ahead. $25 reward for information leading to the conviction of any one defacing this sign. Carolina Motor Club.”
