Let the customers do the selling

A tour down Highway 5 through Lebanon, Mo. will give you a view of this most unusual combination of manufacturing plant decor and product advertising. Independent Stave Co. of Lebanon displays the super-size logos of all its customers who use oak barrels to age and store their distilled spirits and wines. Because Missouri oaks are slow growing, the flavor contributed by the oak to the spirits is more desirable than oak from other areas.
