The History of Young Electric Sign CompanyYESCO
Heritage Associates has done extensive research on the history of signs, organizing the archives and writing the history of Young Electric Sign Company. "What started as a small sign lettering company in the 1920's has become one of the largest electric sign companies in the world." This is the company that lights up Las Vegas, and produces billboards and signs that are familiar to people everywhere.
