WALTHAM, MASS. Jackie WEATHER ROOSTER This rooster stands on roof of BLUE When skies are fair and clouds are few; Its color turns to PINK, you'll see, For rain or high humidity; But when it has an ORCHID hue, Then you'll know a change is due. Place near Window or Door — Away from Heat #8 --- This card is a hygroscope with surprising accuracy in fore-casting weather. It is intended for indoor use but for best results must be placed where it will have access to outside air. IMPORTANT: SPRING, SUMMER and AUTUMN the card functions well anywhere. In WINTER it may remain con-stantly blue unless placed in the air space between window and storm sash, in an outside foyer or enclosed porch, in an automobile, etc. © SHORE STUDIOS, Brigantine, N.
