Mid-West Sign Supply Company

I don’t really understand the Chinchilla cage girl. This is a store that sells neon glass tubing and assorted neon supplies. It also sells other sign stuff, but the main draw for me as an art student is that they sell neon and neon stuff.
It’s a small-​walk in store that usually deals in commercial businesses that buy in bulk by phone or whatever. So you do get some odd looks when you walk in and ask for like, five neon tube supports, but they’re also used to the odd SAIC student. They have a pretty wide selection. I honestly think most people would never have need of this store, but if you’re an art student this place is useful.

Say you want a bigger cage for your hedgehog (or guinea pig or chinchilla or what have you). There is a great site (
) that lists all the places in the US that you can find the materials to build and coroplast and cube cage. This way you can build whatever sized cage you want. If you look at this website to see what people have paid for a 4 by 8 piece of coroplast in the surrounding parts of Chicago, it ranges anywhere from $ 8.50 all the way up to $ 35. Guess what I paid for a piece? $ 8.50! Yep, this is the best place to go. The girl helping me cocked her head when I said I wasn’t with a company, that I was just buying materials to build my hedgehog a cage. They cut it to fit into my car for no extra charge. If I ever need more of this stuff, this is where I will head back.
