On back: "UNUSUAL BANK SIGN--Believed to be the only bank sign of its kind in the country, this illuminated, rotating cylinder was installed recently on Crocker-Anglo National Bank's Market-Jones Office in downtown San Francisco. The 17-foot porcelain enamel sign features a 13-foot-high, 4-foot-diameter cylinder that turns to show, alternately, a dark green side with off-white letters and an off-white side with green letters. A new tubing, described as 120 M.A. Zeon Lenslite, was used in the illumination. Conceived by Harold Hotchner of Electrical Products Corporation, San Francisco, and executed by that company, the sign is 15 feet from the ground and has an overhang of 5 feet. Crocker-Anglo plans to install similar, or larger, versions of the sign on several other of its 56 offices in California. Crocker-Anglo National Bank; 1 Sansome Street, San Francisco 20; Phone: DOuglas 2-8100, Ext. 212. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. September 11, 1956.
