I owned a carry out in Ohio and it is illegal for a beer distributor to give a retailer Anything. Technically, neons, posters, etc. were 'on loan' and we had to sign for everything.The person I bought the carry out from sold all the neons and boy was the distributor ticked! Took me forever to get their trust back to loan me more advertising stuff. No fault of yours for getting a good deal. Those neons go for big bucks!
