Jeff,

Thanks, yeah, a bit more research shows the M&O brand was pretty pervasive in Colorado. There is a picture in Abbot's CCRR book of Forks Creek with a very nice M&O billboard across the creek from the station.

What is interesting is the lettering style. Every M&O billboard I've found so far has the block, not script, lettering. An initial but not exhaustive scan through a few books looking at Idaho, Georgetown and Blackhawk don't reveal anything like the Central City billboard. Hopefully the books I've ordered will reveal more on this.
