Abstract
Abstract A series of stencils for use in sequence to produce a composite display. Each stencil has openings defining a portion of the total display, and pressure sensitive adhesive on one face for temporarily mounting it on the display surface. Registration guide means may be carried by but separable from the first stencil of the sequence, or may be independent elements positioned on the display surface in accordance with the position of the first stencil. Each subsequent stencil carries registration indicator means cooperable with the guide means. The stencils may be transparent and bear indicia indicating the order in which they are to be used and the nature of the display material to be used with them.
