Clearly that is not a pole. It’s an extremely long straw, used to sip caffeinated soft drinks, because back then, they had to remain outside of Provo City Limits.
It’s the end of a very big hypodermic needle. The guy in the uniform is obviously Russian, so this ad urges us to fight Communism through polio vaccinations.
This address would actually be just a few blocks away from where my brother lives in Provo. I’m pretty certain this place isn’t around anymore, but Provo’s a rather interesting place from an urban archaeology perspective, so there’s a lot of stuff that’s been around for a while. Looks like this would be the place that’s there now.
Oh, and Moroni is not God, just a particularly important prophet.
It looks like a Texaco service station guy, probably changing the price of gas on the sign. Or he could be holding toucans which was the style at the time.
The “close cover before striking” line reminded of a
song that came out in, I think, the ’70′s. Ladies and
gentlemen I give you “Loving You Has Made Me Bananas”
with the beautiful Guy Marks.
Perhaps it’s an anti-Grinch device (a 39 1/2-foot pole).

it’s the Angel Moroni reminding people where god lives (sorry bad humor from a long defunct mormon)He works as a chef part time.
God works as a chef part time? I guess the recession really has settled in.
_@_v – looks like the chef had been speared with that pole, somehow managed to pull it out and now is in a death stagger…
that or it’s some sorta code for laxatives…
one of these days…

Ahh!! May this be some insight into the origins of the famed Dark Chef???
According to Google maps, it’s now a Japanese restaurant. I bet the chef has moved on.
