Whether or not you wish us to send you any of these signs, it will be appreciated if you will fill out and return the enclosed form at your early convenience. R. M. Gidney, Vice President. FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK August 23, 1938. DISPLAY SIGNS INDICATING MEMBERSHIP IN THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM Inquiries have occasionally been received from member banks as to the possibility of obtaining display signs to indicate membership in the Federal Reserve System. Recently there has been developed a type of display sign, to be applied to the glass of windows and doors or to other smooth surfaces, which gives the effect of a painted sign and which is adaptable to wider use than the customary metal or glass sign. This type of sign is designed to be easily and quickly applied and to last for a substantial time if reasonable care is used in cleaning the surface to which it is applied. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York will furnish signs of this type in the form of a copy of the official symbol indicating membership in the Federal Reserve System, as illustrated in miniature by the following imprint: The face is printed with gold lettering and border on a black background, and the reverse side is solid black. Where both the face and reverse sides will be visible to the public two signs may be mounted back to back. Two sizes are available—6" x 12" and 10" x 21". Instructions for applying the signs accompany them. Date Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Federal Reserve Post Office Station, New York, N. Y. We QTe n o t interested in using the membership signs referred to in your letter of August 23, 1938. We request that you forward to us when available: of the 6" x 12" size, and of the 10" x 21" size.
