I've been finding a lot of old fence signs lately. This one on the property of a private house in East Rockaway, L.I.. It has two old phone numbers on it! SUnset 5-5555, and TUrner 4-3333.
Typhoon Industries was founded in Lindenhurst, L.I. in 1959 by former employees of Tornado Industries of Seaford, L.I. Tornado sued Typhoon claiming the new company's name was trade-name infringement, but lost the suit. Typhoon appears to have gone out of business sometime in the early 2000s.

Interesting post with cool details. I'm wondering if a Typhoon fence could survive a typhoon. Enjoy the time all!
