Preferably lighting means is mounted on the back and any of several translucent sign faces are mounted across the ledges to span the port. Typical sign faces are: a translucent clock face with a clock mechanism behind and hands in front and a covering crystal that is transparent; a sandwiching of a translucent light diffuser, a color transparency and a clear cover; a translucent panel with rows of parallel grooves for removably mounting the characters for changeable messages; and translucent panels with messages or other advertising applied directly thereto.
