    Now I get the joke.... Had to log in to see the picture.

    911 Signs..... A easy new product that could work well in some areas is the metal 911 signs. I do the blue and green reflective signs with 4 inch reflective letters on them.

    They are 6 x 18 and I use pre stamped numbers and make them on the spot. You simply lay out the letters on top of the sign with the backing still on it and get the position. I use 2 six inch rulers on each end to help.

    Then place a piece of masking tape on one end of the letter to act as a hinge. Check placement one more time. Fold the letter back and remove the backing and press the letter in place. Some areas like here are just getting 911 number assignments.

    I get my blanks from Grimco.com my contact is Penny. pehlen@grimco.com

    The letters come in pre cut packs of 25 for less than $5.00 if you order 25 packs. Get a bunch of 1's as they will be the first to go. I give $2.00 per sign to my local Fire Dept and we both win.

    This lead me to getting a plotter to make Street Signs too. With the Street Signs they need the new thick diamond Prism reflective material. Since it is harder to cut they came up with a different way to make them. The sign blank has white prism reflective on it. With a plotter you cut the thin film of blue or green with the sign name letters being weeded out. When applied the blue or green is reflective from the white under it and the letters are at full brightness.

    Just an idea....
