Thanks to Sam Talley, who adds: " Originally named Dabney Hill, Think-Of-Me Hill is on the right side of Highway 12 as you enter Aberdeen from Montesano.  Aberdeen's mayor from 1897-99, L. L. Maley was a local cigar maker and named his best one the Think-Of-Me cigar which cost a hefty ten cents. He had a huge sign constructed on the hill facing Aberdeen which read Think-Of-Me. He continued making the cigars until his death in 1937. The sign stood for about 45 years before falling into disrepair. The name stands forever."
