Boosters and Toppers
| Toppers and boosters fall into four broad categories—those used to publicize schools and their athletic teams, those passed out to promote political candidates, those distributed by civic organizations to advertise New Mexico towns and those given out by merchants to advertise their businesses. Car dealerships account for most of the latter category. Please see the page on Front Bumper Plates for information on how New Mexico law affects the display of these plates on vehicles. |
