Every manufacturer of every kind of goods wants from 500 to 50,000 of these signs, and they are rapidly learning where they can get them. These Print-Painted signs come in all sizes, suitable for tacking upon trees, barns or sides of stores where the goods are sold. They are in every respect as durable as a hand-painted sign, though as cheap as print. Billposters also do sign tacking, so there is no difficulty in getting these signs prom- inently displayed in any city, town or village throughout America. I will make a sign, one foot high and three feet wide, on Oil-cloth, in red, white and blue colors, for G}£ cents each in lots of not less than 500. I will make a sign 4x20 inches for lc each in lots of not less than 5,000. I will make a sign three feet wide and five feet high for 25c each, in lots of not less than 500. If 3-0U would prefer other colors than red, white and blue, you can have just what you want. If you don't want the bother of tacking them, I will take charge of that part of the work and give it an expert's attention, and guarantee satisfactory "placing anywhere in America. I also make all kinds of posters in lots of 1,000 and up, at prices that ethers can't duplicate. I will make for j-ou 2,000 8-sheet posters for 24c each, all in brilliant colors and on the finest of poster paper. I will post them on the best billboards in any city in America at the lowest regular rates without extra cost to you.
