Hi all,
Not many of us have any of the first few years of Signs of the Times magazines. Luckily for us, we have a good friend at the magazine, Tod Swormstedt. He supplied me with a bunch of ads from magazines from 1906-1908 containing ads for Rawson and Evans and a few of their competitors. I added quite a few new photos in five new Rawson & Evans pages tonight, along with a few additional pages for Spanjer Bros, Colonial Sign & Insulator, and W.E. Long Co.

Check them out! They are all now linked in the navigation bar of The Original Letterheads Web Site. You can get there easily from the link above. The new pages also show a photo of George Bayless, the main designer at R&E.
