Construction Pillows
Description: Ernst Home Centers, Inc. was a chain of home improvement retail stores founded in Seattle, Washington, in 1893 by Seattle brothers Charles and Fred Ernst. In 1960, Ernst became a division of Pay 'n Save, one of the largest retail companies in the Pacific Northwest. After a 1984 takeover of Pay 'n Save, Ernst was sold off and went public a decade later. Following several highly publicized lawsuits and a failed attempt to open larger stores, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 1996 and liquidated the following year. At the company's peak, it operated 95 stores in 12 western U.S. states. This design is based on Ernst's '70s logo, which was in place until their first rebranding in 1980, which was way less cool.
Description: In late 1954, the Black Lion Battalion was withdrawn from the Reserves and assigned to the Regular Army. In February 1955, it was activated and assigned to USAREUR and an Engineer Battalion (Combat Heavy). From 1955 until 1960, the 249th Engineer Battalion (Construction) was stationed at Kleber Kaserne, ((Kaiserslautern, Germany)). Then it was dispatched to France for a time. Then the battalion was stationed at Gerszewski Barracks, Knielingen, Karlsruhe, Germany, under the command of the 18th Engineer Brigade, where it provided construction support to USAREUR elements stationed in Germany for the Cold War.

Description: Whether water, natural gas, or petroleum that's moving through the greater Southwestern United States, odds are it's moved through pipes manufactured by Cactus Pipe Supply. Based in Tucson, Arizona, Cactus Pipe Supply has been making pipe and fittings since 1942, and claims to have millions of miles of piping still in service, and we have no reason to doubt them.
Description: Architect Doug Roberts returns to San Francisco for the dedication of the Glass Tower, which he designed for developer James Duncan. The tower, 1,688 feet (515 m) tall and 138 stories, is the world's tallest building. During testing, an electrical short starts an undetected fire on the 81st floor just after another such short occurs in the main utility room. Upon learning this, Roberts sees the wiring is inadequate and suspects that Roger Simmons, the electrical subcontractor and Duncan's son-in-law, cut corners. Roberts confronts Simmons, who feigns innocence.
Description: Bring some humor to the job site with this funny “I Cause Safety Meetings” design. Styled like a bold yellow and black caution sign, this graphic captures the perfect mix of sarcasm and workplace attitude. Ideal for construction workers, tradesmen, factory employees, welders, mechanics, and anyone who’s ever been the reason for a quick safety meeting. Whether you’re at work, at the bar, or at a company event, this design is guaranteed to get a laugh. Makes a great gift for coworkers, safety officers, or anyone in the trades who appreciates a good inside joke about job site “incidents.” It’s bold, funny, and eye-catching — the ultimate conversation starter for anyone with a sense of humor about their work.
Description: The "Blue-collar to the bone" design represents the hardworking spirit of blue-collar workers who take pride in their hands-on jobs. Whether they're carpenters, electricians, plumbers, or mechanics, these individuals value independence, earning their paycheck with dirty hands and clean money. It celebrates the grit, determination, and craftsmanship of those in the trades, from construction foremen to union members. This design is for anyone who appreciates the blue-collar work ethic, like dads who’ve spent their careers using tools like Milwaukee and DeWalt.
