lasting Construction J.M. Stewart starts with the right concept. Then we build that concept into a carefully crafted structure that will stand up to the challenges of everyday life. Your Evangel will withstand most hurricane -force winds. It will repel blows that would shatter ordinary signs. It guards against hail. And fends against vandal ism. Strength is built into the original design. Dura- bility is a required part of every component and material used in construction. The Cabinet Heavy -gauge aluminum extrusions are heliarc- welded at mitered corners. Strong aluminum angles provide proper reinforcement a' ;r�ry turn. The J.M. Stewart unitized cabinet is a masterpiece in design and durability. It resists damage. Keeps its shape. And never rusts? The faces All Stewart Signs are double sided and are faced for years of "unbroken" service. All fac- ing materials (for the illuminated sections) are formed from polycarbonate. Your sign will be built with either Tuffak" supplied by Rohm & Haas — or Lexan from General Electric. In testing their polycarbonate material, GE found Lexan capable of withstanding 100 times the impact of acrylic (acrylic is the most commonly used material for forming sign facings). It's very unlikely that you will ever see a Stewart Church Sign with a shattered face. Highly skilled workmen vacuum -form the poly - carbonate into shape. Artists reproduce the art work approved by your church (logos, type styles, words, art and colors). Send us your sketches —or we'll make professional suggestions. Either way, we wait for your approval. And then, proceed with the care of a craftsman; the eye of an accomplished artist. We spare no effort. After all it's your image. And it's our reputation. Paints coat the inside of the sign facing. So finishes are protected from weather and other hazards. It also allows the plastic to filter out harmful ultraviolet rays -- further protecting the integrity of the colors. The Cross Towering above the signage is this unmistakable symbol of our faith. Illuminated at night, the cross appears suspended above your church's name and message. Colors are vivid. Materials are the same as the sign : elow. Reinforced, heavy alum- inum cabinetry. With a tough polycarbonate face. However, Krinklglas'j, is also available as a facing material. This multi -hued, premium gradefiberglass is also shatter — and scratch -resistant. What's more, its diamond -like surface produces prismatic reflections of light — creating an unusually beautiful effect. That's why Krinklglas ° has become a widely used substitute for stained glass. The impact it can have on your sign is powerful. The Paint C^binets are painted with premium automotive finishes — proven for their beauty and resilience through years of use. thra Colors Stewart artists and advisers stand ready to assist you in making your choice of colors. It's an important decision ne that will help define your church's "curb app(--al." One that will make an impact on your communications and your com- munity. We will provide color chips and make sugges- tions. When necessary, we will produce a color rendering to help you in your decision -making process. The Illumination All illumination is internal — generated from inside the sign, behind the faces. It's protected from the weather. And vandals. High output instant start fluorescent lamps provide light for proper illumination. The sign is easy to see. Easy to read. Pleasant to the eye. The light is toned to a subtle warmth. Its message is "welcome." And in certain locations, the sign might provide adequate light for dark walkways. steps or entrances. The fluorescents are very energy efficient Long lasting. 3
