C.J. Strong Photograph Request
Does anyone have a nice photo of the distinguished C.J. Strong that they would be willing to share with me?

There's a photo of CJ in the front of Art of Showcard Writing. The smaller version has a larger photo.

Ron,
I am still buried and under the gun with the Silver Dollar City project. I should be finished by the middle of the week and will try to scan it for you then unless someone else can do it for you in the meantime. What sort of resolution or output size do you need? Remember, a scan from a book will have a certain amount of dot pattern, some of which can be reduced with Photoshop blur filters.
Also, I would have to go digging around through the books, but one of them has a photo of CJ in one panel and Lawrence in the other. Seems like it might be from their Detroit School of Lettering books.

Thank you very much for your offer to help out. Don't worry about the time line, when you have time is just fine. If someone gets a copy to me before Wednesday I will certainly let you know so you don't have to go digging through your vast library.
If possible, something around 5x7 or 4x6 (larger is okay too) and 100 to 150 DPI should be okay. I want to use it with a glass piece. If you have more that one pic of C.J. that would also be nice.
So, at your convenience will work for me.
Hope you project gets done with time to spare. Have a good week.

Before I headed downstairs last night, I looked through a few books. I didn't see the photo I thought I remembered seeing with both photos. Maybe it was a senior moment, or maybe wishful thinking. I know one or two of them mention CJ's brother in the title page.
Sound like William has you fixed up.

Thanks for taking the time to look for me. However, you are way too young to be having senior moments.
I too have the vision of a photo, but I think my vision is from the post card that Super Frog used to send out quite a while back.
Yes, thanks to Bill, I did get a nice picture of C.J. his-self.

I also would love to see this photo. Am hoping it could also be posted on the site sozz I could keep a copy for my ever expanding letterheads related things. It is amazing how much of ( sign collectibles) this is available in the states relative to Canukland ....though with ebay the world of collecting has gotten smaller.

Here's the scan....I know is it too large for my guidelines, but any smaller and you couldn't read the text.

Hello all,
William "Irish" Holohan sent a group of files to me in TIF format. I created this little page so you can download them onto your computer as needed.

Hi Bill,
I just finished 230 hours of design work for Silver Dollar City and am just getting around to a bunch of loose ends like this project. I just e-mailed off my next article for SignCraft and have a few more assignments to tackle before we take off for a few says of Spring Break.
Thanks for taking the time to scan the images for the group of people interested in downloading them. I never did see the photo I thought I remembered with L.S Strong. I don't know if that was his son or his brother, but the name shows up on several occasions.
Off to the next project...
