New Advertising Medium Displays Real Goods

LOS ANGELES is the home of many unique advertising attractions. One of its more enterprising concerns conceived the idea of a sign board that would be an architectural beauty. It was to take the form of a picture frame with the subject acting as the picture. A large wood frame was erected, plate glass fitted and the sign was ready.
A beautiful roadster was placed on the platform behind the window. The backdrop was painted so as to give the car a proper setting, the colored lights were adjusted and the picture was completed. The new picture-sign board has been declared the acme of out-door advertising.
