TODAY'S SIGNS SAY MORE - WITH LESS TROUBLE

IMPROVED MAINTENANCE METHODS ARE MAKING SIGNS SAFER AND MORE ECONOMICAL THAN EVER BEFORE; ADVANCES IN DESIGN AND MATERIALS ARE MAKING THE MESSAGES THEY CARRY MORE EFFECTIVE. MORE EFFICIENT SIGN MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION METHODS INCLUDE A SYSTEM MADE UP OF A SERIES OF PERFORATED, GALVANIZED STEEL POSTS, ONE TO TWO-AND-ONE-HALF INCHES SQUARE THAT, BY TELESCOPING TIGHTLY INSIDE ONE ANOTHER, CAN FORM SIGN SUPPORTS OF ANY HEIGHT. THE NEW SIGN MATERIAL IS THREE TIMES BRIGHTER WHEN NEW AND NEARLY SIX TIMES BRIGHTER AFTER YEARS OF USE THAN SHEETINGS IN BROAD USE TODAY, WITH A 40 PERCENT INCREASE IN LIFE. /DOT/
