Composite Displays

Corbin Dallas · #1 04-30-2001, 10:26 PM

Anyone know where I can find a display case for all of our composites?? I can't find ANYTHING on the internet. I thought about calling my high school and asking them, because I know they have one, or asking at a small place that cells posters. In case you don't know what I'm talking about, I mean the kind that stick out from the wall, and you can flip through the posters/pictures/whatever is in them. Thanks

Try someplace like Deck the Walls (A big poster /artwork retailer here in my neck of the woods) and ask them who supplies theirs. I am sure their Corporate would help you out. Just a thought.

Corbin - do you mean the main composite that the chapter gets with those frames that are bigger than all outdoors, or the smaller 10 x 13 ones that everyone gets?

On this topic, when did composite frames get so huge and ornate? Honestly, some of ours look like they should be in Buckingham Palace. It does nothing except drive up the price!!

The company who actually took the photos for us did the whole display on ours. Maybe that's only the company that did ours. Sometimes though, ours are a little out of hand. 33girl is right...some folks went slightly overboard on the frame. A nice frame and well mounted photos is all you really need

Well, we always get a frame with each composite, but we don't have room to hang every one separately, so we hang them in one of those poster rack type things, like you see all the posters in at Wal-Mart or Spencer's Gifts. I'll try calling our composite company, and see what they can come up with. Otherwise, I'll just ask someplace in town. Our old rack is rickety, and the paint/coating that was/is on it flakes off and looks horrible in our formal.

Thanks for the suggestions

Oh, I"m sorry! I thought you meant an individual composite. We hang all of ours throughout our house, with the most recent one and the founders one in the ritual room.

Steve, I think I know what you are talking about? It hangs on the wall and then you can turn each page separatlly.
Not sure where to get them but you may try a framing shop in your area. It would have to be odd size to have so can be veiwed properly. I mean like you were looking on the wall as hung!
