Gilson-Guelph Dixie "Ace" Tractors Sign

Made in Canada. 1919-1922. Single-sided tin (SST). Embossed. Scarce. Gilson Manufacturing was a Wisconsin company that opened a branch plant in Guelph, Ontario, in 1907. The Dixie Ace tractor was made by Gilson in Guelph from 1919 to 1920. No examples of the Dixie Ace tractor are known to exist. The "Goes Like Sixty" slogan dates to an expression from the late 19th Century when steam locomotives were approaching 60 miles per hour. Like the wings in the "Ace" logo, it captures Gilson's promise of speed, power and performance. The sign is a "full line" catalogue sign advertising Gilson's entire farm product range. It bears the Ontario dealer's inscription, "Sold by J.R. MacDonald, Smith's Falls" in the privilege panel. Marked, "ST. THOMAS METAL SIGNS, LTD., ST. THOMAS, ONT.", lower right edge. Authenticated by The Authentication Company (TAC #502075). All items are guaranteed authentic by Miller & Miller Auctions. All purchases are eligible for free delivery to the Winter Dixie Gas & Oil Show on December 4, 2026 and the Red Deer Swap Meet on April 30 - May 1, 2027.
