Vinyl-Lite Window Factory Sign

Here follows an excerpt from the Offbeat Nova website written by Matt Eng:

Atop the Vinyl-Lite Window and Showroom company sign in Lorton, VA, is a stark white mannequin holding (what else, but) a window. The mannequin is wearing a uniform of the company — another excellent product placement. The sign sits facing north on Telegraph Road on the edge of the large property and showroom building. Looking back at Google Street images, the digital sign was erected sometime between 2009 and 2012 without the man atop it. The earliest date where the figure is shown is October 2016.

The property, like so many similar businesses, is adorned with American flags. According to the company website, Vinyl-Lite has been manufacturing and installing replacement windows for more than thirty years in the Lorton, VA, area. The mannequin is a reassuring message of their “personal, professional, and trustworthy local service.” Prospective customers know exactly what they are getting, even if they might miss that rather odd statue traveling along Telegraph Road.
