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:
“Beside all the small reasons we assign, there is a great reason for the existence of every extant fact; a reason which lies grand and immovable, often unsuspected behind it in silence.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Life seems to be an experience in ascending and descending. You think you’re beginning to live for a single aim—for self-development, or the discovery of cosmic truths—when all you’re really doing is to move from place to place as if devoted primarily to real estate.”
—Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)
