Happy Birthday Pop!
“Pop” Paul Rogers born 118 years ago today, September 9, 1905.

What is the difference between “wall work” and “custom work”?
Wall work refers to the designs that you see on our displays. Commonly referred to as “flash” designs, these designs are either drawn or by us or are commercially available from our friends in the business.
