True Tales

Sign Pro Scales a Billboard – Without a Boom Truck

Target Practice

A sign guy I knew years ago got the job of lettering a private billboard. The owner wouldn’t pay for a lift, so my friend tied a string to an arrow and shot it over the billboard. He then pulled up a rope with the string, and then a rope ladder to reach the platform. He lived to tell the story. — John Miller, Signs by Autografix, Branford, CT
