Small Beginning
Mike and Ted Trikilis dropped out of Kent State in 1967 opening a gallery and art-supply store called the Green Gas House. A visit by a Chicago poster vendor changed everything when the brothers bought anti-war 300 posters. The posters flew off the shelf and sensing an opportunity they moved to Medina changed the name to Pro Arts Inc and became Ohio's number one and only Distributor of Youth-Oriented Posters. They employed free lance student artists,either buying the posters outright or paying as little as $0.05 royalty fee per poster if the artists kept the rights to the art work.

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or beginning:
“Then a small rainbow like a trellis gate,
A very small moon-made prismatic bow,
Stood closely over us through which to go.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“As soon as you begin to say “We have always done things this way—perhaps that might be a better way,” conscious law-making is beginning. As soon as you begin to say “We do things this way—they do things that way—what is to be done about it?” men are beginning to feel towards justice, that resides between the endless jar of right and wrong.”
—Helen M. Cam (1885–1968)
