(01. 40-28) The present invention relates to that type of another plate has holes in common with those of advertising device, sign, or changeable exhibitor the other movable plates and is covered with colin which a plurality of relatively movable plates ored cellulosic material. The eighth plate (movare arranged in pack form and cooperate with able plate 9) is a closing plate which is movable other stationary plates and a luminous source to with each of the other movable plates.

I prefer to use one of 55 the known selector switches which utilizes a comb-relay actuated through a suitable button key-board. Since, however, the selector switch per se is no part of the present invention illustration and further description thereof is believed to be unnecessary.
Ihe arrangement of the apertures in the several plates may be conventional and will of course depend on the specific use to which the apparatus 'will 'be put. When a light is placed behind the box the desired number, letter or symbol will be visible through the front plate 6.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing "Lit is thought the construction, operation and advantages of the invention will clearly appear to those skilled in the art.
