Arthur Gold Memorial Dam. “It’s the sign company again,” said Jenna. “They can’t fit ‘Executive Manager of Quintessential Global Operations’ on your new office sign. If they could just drop the word ‘global’ it will fit within their standards.” “Fire them,” screamed Gold, “I’ve worked too hard to get where I am. Find me someone who knows how to make architectural signage that can accommodate a man and his dreams.” If your sign company has you seeing red like Arthur Gold, visit the Design Center at www.takeform.net/salivafalls, get a free Saliva Falls T-shirt—and create a sign system to accommodate your wildest ambitions, whatever they may be. – Advertisement – Select No. 32 at ContractDesign.com/readerservice www.takeform.net http://www.takeform.net http://www.takeform.net http://www.takeform.net/salivafalls http://www.ContractDesign.com/readerservice
