Inside this 1916 manual:

Ticket writing was show card writing at speed, and this 1916 manual trains exactly that: one-stroke show card alphabets, price-ticket and sale-card layouts drilled for the counter. Show card writers, retail advertisers, and sign painters lettering retail work — price tickets, sale cards, window displays — will find alphabets sized for real card work. Practice with a show card brush and poster paint — the one-stroke alphabets come alive at card size.
