Congratulations on your purchase of the Swinger Sidewalk Sign, a revolutionary method to get your message out on the streets. The traditional A frame sign's design created a pocket for the wind to blow it over. The Swinger Sidewalk sign is more stable because a slight breeze will gently rock the sign face in its cradle.
