This is an scarce original Denver Mountain Parks Improvement and Protective Association “Protected Property” sign, likely dating to the 1950s. It advertises Special Police Patrol services with posted rewards for information on burglary ($25) or fire-related offenses ($10).
The sign reads in part:
“PROTECTED PROPERTY – Denver Mountain Parks Improvement and Protective Association – SPECIAL POLICE PATROL – $25 REWARD for Information Leading to Arrest and Conviction of any Person Burglarizing this Property. $10 REWARD for Information Leading to Arrest and Conviction of any Person Causing a Fire or Leaving a Camp Fire Burning in this District.”
“INTENSIVE POLICE AND FIRE SERVICE – DAY OR NIGHT – PHONE EVERGREEN 125 – E.W. KING, Supervisor.”
Features a green-on-tan painted finish with the triangular association logo encouraging the public to “SAVE TREES, BIRDS, FLOWERS, ANIMALS – PREVENT FIRES – PROTECT PROPERTY.”
