5 What is claimed is
An advertising device comprising an
elongated rectangular frame of substan-
tially flat material having long side bars and
relatively short end bars connecting the side
10 bars, one of the side bars being relatively
narrow and provided with enlargements
projecting beyond both long edges of the
narrow side bar with each enlargement as-
sociated with the corresponding enlarge-
15 ment of the other edge of said narrow side
bar, and another side bar relatively wide
and free from projections on its long edges,
the matching projections of the narrow side8
bar having pictorial representations thereon
in perspective, with the outlines of the pro- 20
jecting parts conforming to the outlines of
the perspective representations, whereby the
relation of said pictorial representations to
the open space within the frame and the
open space outside of the frame beyond the 25
narrow side bar displays the perspective ef-
fect of the pictorial representations, said
wide side bar being capable of use for other
than advertising purposes.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing 30
as my own, I have hereto affixed my signa-
ture in the presence of two witnesses.
