A New Nellans Mark For a long, long time, our old Company mark has been — no pun intended —a landmark around here. It has appeared on thousands of signs wherever we have stood ready to serve as specialists in residential, commercial and investment properties. Starting now you'll be seeing less and less of the old symbol and more and more of our bold and simple new mark. We don’t like to make a lot of claims for our new "signature'. It is not loaded with hidden meaning, although some people may see any of several images in it. It’s just a wheel mode of a number of stylized capital letter N's for Nellans. We think it will be easy to recognize at a good distance, even from an automobile zipping along the highway. We think it will be easy to remember us by. And we hope you will get to like it as we do. We already speak of it around the office as our Nblem. < *i f rvi rn HELLMS W
