humm's Unveils
Super Sign In
S0infIy CRY

A gigantic semi-spectacular
outdoor advertising sign was I'M
yelled in st. Paul April IL by the
Theo. Hamm Brewing Co. The
cleaning board, largest ever built
by the firm, can be viewed by ap-
proximately $4,000 people per day
as they pass Eighth St., between
Wabasha and Cedar in the busy
loop district of st. Paul.
Requiring three months to con-
struct, at a cost of $4,000, the
most unique feature of the sign is
it's $3.50 square feet of gold leaf
which shines from a sunburst in
the center of the sign. This sun
burst border is As inches wide and
forms Hamm's famous round
tangle" in the center of which
the words Hams Preferred" are
displayed.
The Board also features a huge
1914 #. high Hamm's beer bottle
on which is painted an exact repli-
ca of the Hamm label. This label
is 20 by 80 feet high-on the ac-
tual bottle it is 80 by 3% inches.
Leading back from the bottle are
large pilsner-type glasses which
light up one at a time until the
entire row of IA glasses are light
ed in neon.
In a continuing program to pro-
mote the region of 10000 lakes in
which the Hamm Brewery is loca-
ted, the sign carries the slogan,
From the land of sky blue
waters" This theme, being used
in national magazine advertising,
local newspaper, and 24-sheet pos
tiers, and on an extensive radio
network, tells the story of this
popular vacation-land to the ma
tional audience who see and hear
the Hamm's beer advertising. At
the left of the board a woodland
scene is depicted with portions of
the pine trees and a simulated
rushing stream.
In erecting the sign in down.
town st. Paul, Hamm Brewing
Co. officials believe it will serve
dual purpose. 1t will focus at
tention on the fact that this Is the
home of Hamm's, one of the top
breweries in the nation, and also
on the fact the Minnesota is a
vacation paradise.
This elaborate new sign was
developed from an original idea
conceived by Douglas Leigh, out
standing New York designer of
outdoor signs, Leigh is respon-
sible for much of the spectacular
lighting of Times Square - his
signs include the Super Suds
board which losses huge soap
bubbles into the air and the light
ed derigibles which have been used
for several different firms.
The new Hamm advertising
board is constructed on a steel
supporting frame that is SO by rs
feet and lighted with a combina-
ton of 10 thousand watt flood
lights, SAT sixty watt lamps and
500 feet of florescent tubing. A
total current of 1850 watts per
hour is required to illuminate the
sign at night. This is equivalent
to the lighting power consumed
per hour by 46 average-sized
homes. Eleven $4,000 volt trans
formers are required to keep the
sign in operation.

ing in the Mayors reception room

that the most important step Of

This, however. does not mean
that the Negro has obtained first

been his goal and which has al

Mr.. Ashmore pointed out that
while we have made these gains,
they do not come without dangers.
mainly the dangers Of Negro vot-
ers who are ill-edueated and badly
led, falling into the clutches Of
demagogues or dangerous politici.
ans who can exploit these voters

He further declared tina, laws
imposed by the federal govern
ment can do great damage If We
are TO maintain order as we pro.
gress. He cited the FEPC among
others, as bad legislation for the
south. He advocated that the south
must free the Negro Of its own
will. not the will Of the north.
