This ad ran in the fall of 2001 to congratulate John Lager on his phenomenal threepeat -- winning the National Taxidermist Association's Best All-Around Taxidermist award three years in a row. The text from this ad is reprinted below:

Threepeat!

Polytranspar Does It Again!

Congratulations to
John Lager
of Littleton, Colorado

on becoming the first person to win
Best All-Around Taxidermist
3 Years in a Row!

For the first time in history, the NTAÕs Best All-Around Taxidermist honors went to the same person for three consecutive years. We again offer our congratulations to Colorado's John Lager, taxidermist extraordinaire, talented artist, master craftsman, nice guy, and loyal Polytranspar airbrush paint devotee.

John Lager won the NTAÕs Best All-Around Taxidermist at Billings in 1999, Lubbock in 2000, and Columbia in 2001.

John Lager uses only 100% Polytranspar airbrush paints on all of his commercial and competition work. A former aerospace scientist, he stresses the importance of a compatible paint system to his students.

Year after year, in competition after competition, more major awards are won with entries finished with Polytranspar than with all other paint brands combined! Polytranspar IS the CHOICE of Champions!
