A means of building increased patronage is now available in the use of the revolutionary new Wagner — FLUORESCENT PLASTIC CHANGEABLE COPY LETTERS (Neviol U. S. Pat. No. 2486859. Other patents pending) — an entirely different type of letter, exclusive with Wagner and adaptable with economical modifications to all existing Wagner frames. 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 CLARE 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 fight. 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 signs which employed front illuminated fluorescent materials, 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. BIGGER BOXOFF ICE -GREATER PROFITS Attracting the attention of more people always means better business, for people go to the theatre more often when they know what is playing. That's only natural. Theatres with obsolete displays will not be able to compete with those equipped with this powerful new type of advertising. CET BUSINESS YOU NEVER COT BEFORE You can now do something about the matter of whether they patronize you or the theatre down the street. Wagner Neviol letters impart a new look to any theatre front. Leading theatremen at the recent TESMA-TEDA-TOA-IPA equipment show in Chicago were quick to see the advantage of Wagner Neviol letters and have already ordered them installed. NICE THEATRE-GOOD PICTURE-NO AUDIENCE? Don't let an old-fashioned display board steal your profits. Wagner Neviol letters are not expensive, but failing to use them can be costly.
