He was somewhat handicapped in the preparation of these signs by the largeness of the perforated letters of the stencil and the limited size of the cards. He had preferred cards to paper because they would not blow and tear and Aunt Jamsiah had given him a pile of these, uniform in size, on one side of which had been printed election notices of the previous year. It was impossible, therefore, for Pee-wee to include all of each tempting announcement on one card, so he used two cards for each reminder to the public. Thus on one card he printed FRANKFURTERS and on its mate intended for posting just below, the palate-tickling conclusion, SIZZLING HOT.
FRANKFURTERS
SIZZLING HOT ⇾

Another two-card sign, intended for warmer weather, read:
ICE CREAM
⇽ COLD AND COOLING
Other signs originating in Pee-wee’s fertile mind and covering the range of food and drink and auto accessories were these:
PEANUT TAFFY
SWEET AND DELICIOUS ⇾
