Mesquite Creek Supply Co. Tools Tee — Kingsville, Texas — Backlot Supply Archive

Recovered from Mesquite Creek Supply Co., Kingsville, Texas. Counter shirt, circa 1981. Crossed wrench and hammer, navy on natural — the kind of mark a hardware store put on everything from shirts to shop bags.

Sold for a few dollars at the register. Worn by the guys behind the counter and the guys buying lumber. No frills, no slogan — just the shop and the tools.
