Hey All,
I have been busy with grad school here in San Francisco and still pinstriping, but am wondering who out there can help me out with any scans of old Ronan Paint ads, or any Paint ads from the turn of the last century. I have been looking high and low, but no luck...
Thanks again in advance,
Doug.

Doug,
When I was first learning to hand letter back in 1973 or so, Neo Sign Supply sold Ronan lettering enamels. For several years, that was the only lettering enamel I even knew about, but I never saw ads in Signs of the Times for it. I always thought that was odd. Later I found out about other brands. I have quite a few old sign painting books and some of them had advertising for paint and products, but I don't recall ever seeing a Ronan ad.

We are recognized as leaders in technology for Sign paints, Water Based Coatings, lead free products, Clears, Japan Colors and Faux Finish.
Good luck,

Thanks Mike,
I talked to one of the guys at Ronan and he is sending me a few he had in files there... I was just hoping that somone had a collection of such things.
If anyone still might have some, they can e-mail them to me ASAP.
Thank You!!!!
