Billposters and Distributors Located in towns which do not em- ploy all of their time, are losing money by not being able to paint signs. We care not if you never had a lettering brush in your hands, you can paint good signs with our Letter Patterns. , We are putting up outfits of letter pat- terns, cut from tough strawboard, assorted sizes and styles, with a view of doing the greatest amount of work with the least number of alphabets, as follows : 2 to 10 inches—2 to 8 inches — 1% or 2 to 6 inches— 1% or 2 to 4 inches. Each outfit consists of 10 alphabets and 5 sets of figures. Price, $3.00 each. We have larger and smaller outfits at corresponding prices. Each of the outfits mentioned consists of over 300 letters and characters, which is less than a cent apiece. Can you afford to do without them? Think a moment and consider the amount of work you have lost bv not being able to paint a sign. We will send, postpaid, A SAMPLE ALPHABET for 25 cents, size from 2 to 6 inches high. Some of the best sign painters use pat- terns, as they can do double the amount in the same time with them. CIRCULARS FREE. Exemplar Sign Works Pickeringfon,Ohio. R. H. FORGRAVE, Manager. MARK A.
