Beverly Sign Co. Sketch - Patio Shop
Drawing
A sketch for a sign that reads, "Visit our Patio Shop," with other advertising language. The central text is set within a rectangle that is filled with green fence-like shapes in the upper part, a blue text ribbon and a yellow circular field of text. It is signed by Ken Millar, a well-known sign painter who worked for Beverly Sign Co., and stamped with the Beverly Sign Co. name. It also has what is presumably the eventual location for the final sign: Frank's Dept. Store.
This is one of 14 sketches currently on display that celebrates the Beverly Sign Co.'s impact on the sign industry.
