Polytranspar Does It Again!

Congratulations to
Bill Newman
of Holdenville, Oklahoma

For Sweeping the Major Awards at the 2001 National Taxidermists Association Convention in Columbia, Missouri.

Celebrity guest Irlene Mandrell helps Bill Newman display some of the awards he won at the 2001 NTA Convention in Missouri. Bill's outstanding largemouth bass and frog was the favorite of judges and competitors alike, and ended up earning the most major awards ever received by a fish mount, as well as the NTA $5,000.00 top cash prize. A loyal Polytranspar paint user for years, Bill writes: "Polytranspar Paints again helped put me in the winning circle," proving once again that Polytranspar is the Choice of Champions!

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!
