Description100 Alphabets by Alf R. Becker. Published by The Signs of the Times Publishing Company, Cincinnati, OH: 1941.Softbound and spiral bound; B&W illustrations; 116 pages "Alf Becker produced this book for Signs of the Times Publishing Company and who advertised it in their magazines for quite a few years. There were numerous other titles touting a collection of alphabets, but this one seems to have been the most popular even though finding an original is still tough. Possibly contributing to the difficulty is the fact that Signs of the Times showed one of the plates per month for many years and many signpainters simply clipped the page out of the magazine each month. Still, the quality and variety of the alphabets is very good and those letterstyles can be seen in numerous signs during that time." -from signmuseum.com via The Wayback Machine
