Ingenuity in Sign Painting.

Sign painters nowadays need not show
much knowledge of drawing figures, but
very much skill and experience are neces-
sary before one can space letters properly.
a poorly spaced sign is spoiled one and
perhaps the percentage of good ''spacers''
would not amount to more than one in ten
among sign painters
The plain lettered sign is now most in
vogue here, but it offers considerable scope
for the exercise of ingenuity and taste
in evolving new ideas, fine or quaint forms
of lettering, proper backgrounds to the let
tiers, appropriateness of appearance to the
business advertised and what not besides.
