l BUSINESS PROFILE NORTH COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL x SPRING 2016 x sdnedc.org SIGN OF THE TIMES n FEDERAL HEATH SIGN CO. IS CELEBRATING 115 YEARS F ederal Heath Sign Company, headquartered in Oceanside, is celebrating its 115-year history in the sign industry. Starting from its modest beginnings in Chicago as Fed- eral Electric Company on March 25, 1901, Federal Heath Sign Company has emerged over the years as one of the most recog- nized names in the signs and visual communications industry. The company's origins date back to 1900, when two employees of Chicago Edison Company started looking for more ways to sell elec- tricity. John F. Gilchrist and John Goehst came upon the idea of insert- ing incandescent lamps in a porcelain enamel sign to form an electrified advertising message. Not only was this the beginning of electric sign companies but it also provided sidewalk and storefront illumination for the dark Chicago streets. From a patent for a clamp socket that assured a secure connection, to fabri- cating and stocking individual channel letters, to developing a commercial line of store fixtures, the founders set the standard for diversification and value- added services for their customers. The number of high-profile cus- tomers have included Motorola, IBM, Walgreens, Cadillac, Budweiser, Coca- Cola and Kentucky Fried Chicken. "With a history that is unparalleled in the industry, Federal Heath continues the legacy started 115 year ago with a strong, unwavering focus on providing customers the highest value, quality, speed and flexibility with our products and services offered," said President and CEO Kevin Stotmeister.
