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.
