images were found.
you can just print
these images yourself, but only for your personal use please.

print something as durable and attractive as a ceramic tile in a
cherrywood frame. So come on! Treat yourself! And "Buy American!" You
can buy the real No Soliciting Sign for a pittance and you'll have a sign that is both classy
and effective. Accept No Substitutes!

See for yourself how well the No Soliciting Sign works!
The No Soliciting Sign caches his eye as soon as he is
in range and it maintains his interest until he looks up briefly before
walking away. And it works every time!
Well, nearly every time anyway. OK, so we can't guarantee that no moronic solicitor will
ever bother you if you use one of our signs, but we can assure you
that these "No Soliciting" signs were carefully designed and
field tested to work better than any other --
well, unless you have a sign that conceals a small explosive charge. :-)
We have nothing against people who are trying to make an honest
living, or spread the word about their religious or
political beliefs, or who are collecting money for legitimate charities,
but that doesn't mean we want them knocking on our door either.
No one enjoys being interrupted constantly by door-to-door solicitors
pushing one thing or another. It is particularly annoying or disturbing when
they are persistent, aggressive or threatening. Our homes should be a safe haven, and yet companies drop off
crews of salespeople in our neighborhoods to knock on every door. These
companies don't screen their salespeople for criminal records and in
some cases entire crews are made up of people undergoing some kind of
"rehabilitation." Also, it is quite common for thieves to pose
as door-to-door solicitors to case homes for crimes of opportunity.
It is dangerous to open your door to strangers, no matter how
innocent they might look. And it's safer as well as less aggravating if
you can stop them from bothering you in
the first place.
Many people put up a standard "No Soliciting" sign and then
are dismayed to see how many solicitors simply ignore the sign and knock
on the door or ring the bell anyway. If you ask solicitors why they
ignore your sign, the most common answer is that
they are "not selling anything" -- which indicates that they
have no idea what "soliciting" means. Not surprising, given
the average degree of literacy of those who solicit door-to-door.
Those
solicitors who do
know what soliciting means and choose to ignore your sign anyway, just don't have any respect or consideration
for others. They'll typically smirk at you and tell you they've sold lots of
whatever it is they're selling to people who had no soliciting signs on
their doors. Many are taught to ignore the signs or are told that
people who have no soliciting signs actually make the best
prospects.
After years of frustration with the ignorance and selfishness of
these cretins, we finally decided to see if we could design a
"No Soliciting" sign that no one with an IQ above a lab rat
could possibly ignore. The design of these signs was perfected through
extensive field testing, with changes based on feedback from solicitors who
ignored it, until finally the most effective combination of text and
images was found. This design really works!
And it's attractive as well. Specifications:
A decorative ceramic tile in its own Cherrywood frame. The rounded edges and quality construction make this framed tile
a stylish way to shoo away those pesky salesman.
* Frame measures 6" x 6" x 0.5", with 4.25" x 4.25" tile
* Constructed of stained Cherrywood
* Two holes for wall mounting
These signs can be easily hung from a nail but we have heard from some
people who were reordering that their signs were stolen. So unless you want to run the same risk, you
should mount your sign securely. We recommend that you pre-drill one hole
top and bottom and secure with a couple of Phillips head screws, while
being careful not to over-tighten. Or you can simply attach your
no soliciting sign with a generous helping of glue or calking.
