Need help with signs

[Anonymous]

I have tried a number of web sites looking for a sign to download and place on the brick wall of one of my building models. What I am looking for in particular is a Rexall drugs, but almost any drug store sign will do. Thanks

Try Ebay for collectibles, Advertising signs, I printed some and then scaned and resized them,

Have you tried finding something on Rexall's own site? Most companies use their own logo on the web and many have images of others they have historically used. I've used this approach to download logos and manipulated the images as needed with photo editing software.

Also, I seem to recall that a decal (Microscale?) or dry transfer (Woodland Scenics?) manufacturer has/had some decals or transfers for structures including a Rexall drug sign.

You mention downloading so I assume you have at least average computer skills. What I suggest you do is go to your local library or preferably a unversity library. Look through the back issues of general circulation magazines. Ladies Home Journal or Good Housekeeping for example. Find signs of the type you want and then either photocopy or scan them to disc. Once you have done that you can manipulate them with such programs as Photo Shop to a suitable size and color and then print them either on paper or decal transparency.

Good luck

A an antique mall I bought a book called "Encyclopedia of Porcelain Enamel Advertising" by Micheal Bruner, published by Schiffer Publishing, Ltd, 77 Lower Valley Rd., Atglen, PA 19310 It is 176 pages of color pictures of porcelain enamel advertising signs for all types of products. 2 to 3 signs per page. Way cool. Very good resource.

I did a search on Alta Vista. Found several Rexall signs.
