YESCO Sign & Lighting Service Whitby

Did you know neon signs once stopped traffic?

Pictured here is Georges Claude, the “Father of Neon.” in the early 1900s with one of his neon experiments—technology that would light up cities worldwide.

The first neon sign in the U.S. was installed in 1923 for a Packard car dealership in LA, and people literally stopped traffic just to stare at it. That glowing red "Packard" started a revolution in visual marketing — and YESCO was right there in the thick of it, pioneering neon craftsmanship that would define the American West.

At YESCO, we’ve been part of the sign industry’s legacy for decades, keeping the craft alive and evolving with every generation of signs.

Happy 105th birthday to YESCO!

Yesterday, we celebrated 105 incredible years of craftsmanship and innovation.

In 1920, Thomas Young Sr. started a small sign shop with a $300 loan from his father. Fast forward 105 years, and that vision has grown into a thriving business known for crafting industry-leading signs and delivering exceptional service.

As we reflect on this milestone, we’re reminded that YESCO’s greatest asset isn’t just our iconic signs—it’s the amazing people behind them. From our dedicated team to our loyal customers, your hard work, integrity, and support are what keep us shining bright.

Here’s to 105 years of lighting up communities—and many more to come! Thank you for being part of our legacy!

The Sands Hotel and Casino operated on the Las Vegas strip from 1952 to 1996.

Back then, casinos and resorts relied on eye-catching marquees to advertise their entertainers, shows, dinners, and other amenities. These classic signs were a staple of the golden era of entertainment, serving as glamorous beacons of light and lettering that beckoned audiences into the exciting world of showbiz.

In this image, we see legends of the 1960s Rat Pack era—Dean Martin and likely his buddies Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., along with other entertainers like Martin Denny, Dave Burton, and the Ernie Stewart Trio. The Sands was famous for hosting unforgettable performances with A-list headliners, bringing a "who's who" of talent to the stage. This particular shot was likely taken in the early 1960s when the Sands was the heart of Vegas nightlife.

Marquees like this didn’t just promote shows; they captured the glitz, glamour, and spirit of Las Vegas itself. Today, they remain iconic symbols of an era when the Strip beamed with classic flair.

At YESCO, we’re dedicated to delivering excellence at every stage—from order to installation. Thank you, Melissa, for trusting us with your lighting needs! Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and we're so grateful for the opportunity to bring visions to life!
