Dodge Brothers Sign
Biggest On Broadway
To the scores or brilliant elec.,
trio displays in New York's the.
atrical and night life district,
Dodge Brothers soon will add what
is said to be the largest and latest
type of illuminated sign. Switches
controlling the huge spectacle will
be thrown for the first time on'
New Year's eve.
Blazing colored letters as tall as
a house will proclaim the com-
pany's name. Underneath
the
words "Dodge Brothers" will be a
so-called "mittograph" or "run-
ning-reading sign," on which mes-
sages of nearly 100 words will
race across a separate panel in let-
ters more than seven feet high.'
This motograph will appear to be
a scroll unwinding on one end and
winding up on the other. The
electrical controls for the moto-
graph are operated by a paper
tape, somewhat after the order of
a player-piano roll, so that the
messages may be changed from
week to week.
The sign, measuring 45 by 100
' feet, will be mounted on a steel
framework atop 'he Strand Thea-
ter building, Forty-seventh street
and Brodway, in the center of the
world-famous New York electric
spectaculars,
