Just when you thought it was safe to say that is that with C R Smith adverts in Edinburgh then another one turns up! The initial contract signed by the company was for 18 trams to receive location based adverts but in the last few days the 19th advert for the company has appeared with 256<\/strong> the latest tram to go over to advertising the window firm.
