Here's another Western Exterminator guy, similar to
the one located in Long Beach, CA.
Western Exterminator is a pest control company in Arizona, Nevada, and
California. Their
"Little Man" logo was created in 1931. Though he was originally
named "Kernel Kleenup", the name never stuck. The signage and
trailer-towed Little Man photos were taken at a Western Exterminator facility
in Phoenix.

UPDATE 04/05 : According to the owner, the business
moved to Phoenix in 1971, and they erected the statue sign in about 1974. Many thanks to Elgin MacMillan for update and latest
photo. 04-05

Here's a real roadside find. Yes, it's Harbie,
located in the Shady Dell RV Park in Bisbee, AZ. The Shady Dell is a park
wherein the "motel rooms" are refurbished trailers from the
50s, a converted bus, & a propped up cabin cruiser. Lo & Behold
, there in front of the yacht, stands a Harbie, kind of faded but bravely
holding up to cold, dry desert winds.

This dinosaur advertising fossils is located off the Interstate 40 near the Painted Desert. Here is another hard to resist roadside attraction to catch the eye of unsuspecting motorists off Route 66 in Arizona. 11-10
