A very fine piece of lettering by Angelo M. Rassu, Greenwich, Connecticut.
The original was no doubt considerably larger. Usually pieces of work of
this kind are reduced about half. We would suggest that you make a copy
of this specimen, making the entire piece twice as large. That is, twice as
wide and twice as high as the copy. Color the initial letter and the background.
Study the technique of this lettering carefully. This is a very
practical style of lettering.
This piece shows how one can make various pieces of work, especially Biblical
material by using one rather simple initial letter with plain lettering. You
are sure of getting a piece of work which is appropriate in design and will
be appreciated by many people. We will be glad to see similar specimens
from other penmen.
O. M. StiSFney of Kendallville, Indiana,
visited the Educator office and
the Zanerian, viewing the various
specimens for the first time. Mr.
Stiffney formerly supervised handwriting
in Hammond, Indiana, and
taught commercial work in Business
College in South Bend, and in High
School in Milwaukee.
Mimeographs published by Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania Business College
has been received. It is a twentysix
page school paper filled with information
regarding the school activities.
This school was established
in 1897. Since that time a large
number of young men and women
have received commercial training
and positions through the efforts of
this school.
SPECIMENS FROM MR. HAUKOM
An envelope containing specimens
of Ornamental penmanship and flourishing
has been received from Mr.
Karl S. Haukom of Crawford, B. C,
Canada. Mr. Haukom has been a
close student of L. Madarasz and also
completed a course under Francis B.
Courtney and holds a Certificate in
business writing signed by C. P.
Zaner.
Some of the specimens which Mr.
Haukom enclosed are exceptionally
fine. In fact, very few penmen have
excelled some of the work which Mr.
Haukom submitted. It is with regret
that the lines were in pale ink
and therefore would not successfully
reproduce.
Some of the finest work we have
received for many a day in Ornamental
penmanship, has been received
from J. O. Allen, the man
who from a boy in the grades has
been interested in penmanship, but
who has not followed penmanship
professionally. He is now retired
from the furniture business and is
devoting much of his time to penmanship.
Some of the signatures
which he enclosed with his letter are
little gems of delicacy and grace.
Unfortunately the work is in pale
ink and the lines will not successfully
reproduce, otherwise we would
have passed them on to you. Mr.
Allen studied business writing under
W. S. Hiser of Richmond, Indiana,
whom some of our older readers may
lemember.
J. Arlington Baker, The Tome
School, Port Deposit, Maryland, re-
cently sent in some specimens by his
pupils.
J. L. Hupman, General Delivery,
Cincinnati, Ohio, frequently sends us
specimens of his skill. Mr. Hupman
has a remarkable knowledge of letter
forms.
