OK... make it 4 meters.
Most meters aren't very big. Let's make it metres.

There's an image forming in my mind of Regina, a windswept town on the
frozen tundra of Canada, miles from the nearest neighbors. Rising
from the plains of 1 story homes and shops is a 2 story retail beacon.
It's the Regina Camera shop. In the early evening darkness I can
almost see the faces of the customers, bundled against the cold, as
they wind thru the streets toward the brightly lit shop.
Yes, an evocative image!... if I may continue...
Inside the shop, hard at work is a tall, distinguished, balding
gentleman who wears a perpetual smile with a grey mustachio above it.
He is known simply as WR by his friends and foes alike. Foes, perish
the thought! That is, as the French Canadiens who come from all over
to visit would grin and say, "impossible' . He works hard at keeping
the shop stocked with every kind and brand of photography gear
imaginable. The shop is a virtual treasure chest, a cornucopia of all
good things photographic, and WR is a true and cherished friend to
all.
As we enter the shop, walking through the lattice-windowed door, a
bell tinkles. WR is on a stepladder installing a 10 meter high
flourescent sign in the eastern window, with large red letters running
vertically, which reads "PENTAX".
