An Advertising Sign Factory Showroom 



The rooster in the picture on the 

 right will soon be the weather-vane 

 on a very large building. Although 

 substantially welded, it is not in one 

 piece. Fully a dozen parts were 

 made so that the completed bird 

 might be an exact image of the real 

 in every detail. Then the parts were 

 assembled and soldered together 



Animals of every description, jewel- 

 ry of all kinds, eyes of every size 

 and color, miniature automobiles, 

 battleships, houses — in fact rep- 

 licas of any and everything are 

 made upon demand, so that the 

 showroom of [the factory resembles 

 an old curiosity shop or a museum 



Bird forms are hammered out on 

 iron patterns which are cast from 

 the original artist's model. Often 

 the stuffed bodies of real birds are 

 used, where the reproduction is to 

 be life-size. The eagle in the picture 

 on the right is made of hammered 

 brass resembling polished old gold
