Biographical Text
Hal Brenner painted signs and shop windows on Harlow's Main Street for forty years. He designed the Harlow Ski Club's first poster in 1939, without a fee, and the posters for the 1948 season and for the Tin Lizzie T-bar in 1953. He signed them with a small brush-script HB in the lower corner.
