Bill Posters who qave n°t tried one of our Special Letter Stands, are matins a big
TrjIstaKe. Thj-y are losing business every day. If you Hjave n ot seen one of 1t\em, you
can not realize how strong. h°w graceful and h, ow much lik.e a specially eng raved stand
they are. Bill Posters, Theatrical Agents, Circus Managers, who have used them, are
enthusiastic in their praise. Mr, George H. Hartford, th,e Rustling advertising agent of
the Fountain Square and Walnut Street Theatres, and lately with, PJng |lrig Brothers' Circus
recently said; -I would sooner have a stand rqade up from your special letters th,an any
lithograph, stand on th,e road. It looms'up big — it's massive, and that's wh,at you want
for a stand. Every manager th,at sees a stand likes it."
We have had a series of new up-to-date letters designed, and can make a stand of
one line (two sheet upright), two lines (oqe sheet upright), or three lines (half sheet), or
any combination thereof, rqaKing a stand any size from 12-sheet up to 500-sh,eets. The
less words, the better the stand. Send SI. 00 and copy for sample stand, or we will send
you a half-tone illustration of several.
Prices: In lots of ten. 3 cents per sheet; twenty-five. 2 1-2 cents per sheet; fifty,
