Announcing the Hew WAGNER NEVIOL FLUORESCENT PLASTIC CHANGEABLE COPY LETTERS NEVIOL U. S. PAT. NO. 2486859. OTHER PATENTS PENDING. REVOLUTIONARY! ENTIRELY DIFFERENT! Formed in clear plastic and processed with a newly developed and patented process fluorescent material, each of these letters, by the use of "black light” becomes a separate, actual light source not dependent on transmitted visible light or the translucence of the sign face. They Create Colored Light Rather than Lighted Color. UNBELIEVABLE BRILLIANCE AND DISTANT READABILITY WITHOUT GLARE The extreme brightness and strikingly DIFFERENT colors, impossible with other letters, make them especially ideal for installations which are "hedged in” by an abundance of competing light. They are also unusually effective by natural daylight. THE ONLY THIRD-DIMENSIONAL ILLUMINATED LETTERS EVER MADE! The black light affords a uniformity of illumination of every letter virtually impossible with previous types of lighting. GUARANTEED LONG LIFE Not to be confused with letters which employed fluorescent materials which were front illuminated and exposed to the sun, these new letters are processed on the back and will not pass the ultra-violet rays of the sun. They are accordingly extremely fade-resistant. ADAPTABLE TO ALL WAGNER FRAMES The letters are slotted for wind-proof mounting and may be used with economical modification on existing Wagner display frames.
