Synopsis

Excerpt from The Expert Sign Painter: A Book of Reference Designed for the Use of Practical Sign, Painters Letterers

Uring the past few years quite a number Of works for sign painters have appeared from the press, but these have mainly been devoted to illustrations, or lay-outs and alphabets Of various kinds, the text part being almost nil. TO supply the need for a practical text book, a need that I have clearly recognized during my several years'' experience as an editor Of a paint er''s periodical, and also While instructing in the sign painting art at the Indianapolis Technical Institute, some five years ago, the present work is here Offered. ~in making this book I have been under Obliga tions to many Of the leading sign painters Of the country, and also to various trade publications, and to these I wish to extend, as far as I can, due credit. My work has indeed been that Of the. Editor, not Of the. Author. I am able in only a few cases to render credit by name, but all Whose writings have contrib uted toward this work, whether small or large it may have been, have the assurance that goes with all good and worthy deeds, that they carry their own reward In satisfaction felt from the consciousness Of so doing.

In the forty-eight chapters Of this work will be found the most that can be given regarding the art and practise Of sign painting in this country. Many minds are. Represented therein. Various methods for doing various things are given, all equally good, though. Differing in. Minor points. The book is in tended for the expert workman, not the learner or amateur. It is a book Of ready reference.

I have consulted all the books there are, of domes tic and foreign origin, relating to the subject of sign painting, and have also carefully gleaned the pages Of the various trade publications for, the past several years for matter relating to the subject, and what I have gathered in this way has been carefully edited or revised as the case require
