Inside this 1922 textbook:
From Charles J. Strong (1922): 262 pages of price-ticket and sale-card layouts and brush handling for card work, arranged as working lessons rather than picture plates. A working reference for show card writers, retail advertisers, and sign painters, not a coffee-table book. Card writers kept books like this at the counter, lettering real tickets between lessons.
