The postings title was in regards to bumper stickers.. by this is along the same line, state tourism billboards.
North Dakato started it all with a campaign to try and lure people to "Exciting North Dakota " for their family vacation. Seemed tha South Dakota, Minnesota, and Montana (even Alberta and Ontario) were getting more tourists than North Dakota. So the North Dakota Tourism Board, place a billboard in the Black Hills near Mount Rushmore, showing the picture of the 4 Presidents, with a caption above Teddy Roosevelts head, saying "I'd rather be in North Dakota (where his cattle ranch is located), then they placed another billboard on the Minnesota/North Dakota board at "Fargo", which said "Stay in North Dakota, Minnesota Border Closed!". Finally they placed a Billboard on the Montana/North Dakota Border which stated, "Think North Dakota is boring, wait til you see Montana, now that is Boring!"
Finally Montana got even, rented about a two mile stretch of road side and planted telephone poles alone the stretch, with a offical sign that said, "North Dakota State Forest!"
