A Bill Poster was someone employed to stick advertising bills on hoardings.
At one time, when cinemas were in their heyday, they would stick up huge "flyers" on hoardings advertising a scene from that week's film.
Bill posters are still around today, sticking up the adverts you see on hoardings when you look out from the top of a bus, lol.

You see notices "Bill Stickers will be prosecuted". I often wonder what he might have done.
