Beverly Sign Co. Sketch - MilesmasterEntry/Object ID
2010.0009.0005Description
A sketch for a sign that reads, "Stop Stalling Step...and GO...Farther..Smoother with Milesmaster," with other advertising phrase. It features a realistic rendering of a mechanical vehicle part with the main lettering framed within a box drawn with graphic. Most of the text is red and some is blue and black inside of a yellow background. A section painted at the top has been scotch-taped over but can be faintly read: Trivoe Auto Wrecking. The only indicate of the potential location for the finished sign is a hand-written note at the top right, "Spit-Fire since 1919."
This is one of 14 sketches currently on display that celebrates the Beverly Sign Co.'s impact on the sign industry.Type of Drawing
