Description

A sketch for a sign that reads, "Take Out Orders Basket Chicken," with other advertising language. The central text is set within a maroon trapezoidal shape which is flanked by a yellow ribbon on either side upon an orange rectangular background. It is signed by Mike Borda, stamped with the Beverly Sign Co. name, and has what is presumably the eventual location for the final sign: a Grill on 2809 W. 71st street. This is one of 14 sketches currently on display that celebrates the Beverly Sign Co.'s impact on the sign industry.
