Much time and patience went into each sign and the work was greatly appreciated.

The brothers began the cus tom for the entertainment of Jacksonville youngsters on Hal loween in 1931. The idea is an entirely voluntary one and the brothers split the expenses be tween them. Their reason for having the parties is that they "just like kids."
