Tom  I don't know if this is feasable but could you upload some of the MS files to something like mediafire   its a free service maybe the resolution would be better   you could put a few of your pages in one file  using either zip or rar  but keep posting the images

your signs are great just trying to get a better image

thanks mike

Is it just my perception, or was there a lot more "art" in advertising in the early and mid 20th century?

"Buxom" and "Blushing" melons, huh! Yup, it's almost watermelon season down here in Florida!

Many thanks for your service to our hobby with these graphics- I think they are a great resource!

St Francis Consolidated RR

    ".you are one SICK dude!!!"

Yes very "SICK!"......I have a very HIGH-STRESS job & use the sign finding as a "Stressk Reliever"  (That's the story I tell my wife also so I can have more time to search out the signs)......The real story is I like to add more realism to my layout by puting up the signs. Since I find many more signs than I can use I put them out for others. I use different searches & oddball websites to locate items. So signs that could be billboards are found as ink blotters, postcards, decals, ads, & old signs. So I'll have this sickness for a while longer.....tkat

    Don't take this the wrong way, because I love all these signs, I've downloaded more than I could use in decades, and you are proof positive that there are a million aspects to this hobby that are fascinating, not to mention all of us I am sure truly appreciate you sharing this work with us...........but..............you are one SICK dude!!!  You know that, right?   HA!

    How do you find all these signs?????

Tomkat:

Here is one uploaded at the 1 meg setting.  The forum will shrink it to show it here, but if you click the grey bar at the top of the picture it will give it to you full size in a new window.

Tomkat:

Under the import button in Photobucket there is, in very small print, a link that says "More Options".

If you click on it, it will give you a pop up where you can select larger sizes.

Dave.

Thank you Dave........I'll try that next time....But I think the forum will still lower the file size.  All of the signs have come off the internet from searches I have made. I will keep posting what I find......tkat
