This drawing,with the lettering in the proportion you would desire it, wouldrepresent your completed sign; each inch in length and heightwould be one foot on the actual sign. Fairchild Script is especially adapted for signs with raisedwooden letters, because the fine lines on regular script crackmore readily when exposed to the atmosphere, while thebolder strokes of the former style are more readily seen at adistance and less apt to be broken by outside exposure. The best method by which your order may be properly. For roof signs the letters are cut from galvanized sheetiron. The letters are fastened to the meshed wire frame bymeans of durable copper wire, which is passed through holespierced through the letters and twisted tight on the back tothe mesh. Such letters should receive one coat of red leadand two coats of other paint, black or dark slate being mosteasily seen at a great distance. Roof signs require careful,expert mounting, necessitating the use of many steel bracesto keep the sign from being blown over. Signs used for store fronts, as shown on the design above,are easily mounted in the same manner, but the letters aregenerally of wood, painted or gilded, and fastened readily byusing small staples, which are hammered down tight into theback of the letters through to the wire mesh behind. Their open surface prevents damage caused by windstorms. carried into effect is to make a scale draw
