How many segments would that have

been in Dave (very nicely done)

1936 this is a stock sheet used. This would have been my mother. She said she went as Rita Aurelia one year on the Cole show.

Chic: How many "segments" is misleading. The pictorial is a sixteen-sheet and the date an eight-sheet, which we count as twenty-four sheets.

But the number of individual pieces of paper varies printer-to printer but would be a lot fewer than twenty-four. The date is probably just two pieces of paper and the pictorial probably six or eight.

So Dave does the word sheet just

refer to a dimension & not to an

actual segment in this case & was

that always how it was counted

Well after a possible show of paper hanging or Three sheeting
I once mixed paste and dobd a four sheet or two for a bill poster last name sheets, Also droved a few staples in my thumb my first day with those new hammer type staplers hitting the telephone poles, Back to the Cole show posters there was one that had the Zoppe troupe on a horse adorn in Russian costume. Would any one have a photo of that poster? I recall seeing it when I was a kid nailed up in the old horse barn in Rochester In
