Pacific Outdoor Advertising Co. and Gannett Outdoor Co. operations, facilities, and employees

These photographs were created by Pacific Outdoor Advertising Co. and Gannett Outdoor Co. to document billboard production and placement, including scenes of facilities, operations, employee portraits and activities, artwork, and sales events. Photographs in "Plant Management" show various corporate buildings, the creation of billboards on the studio floor, artists, painters, equipment, as well as installation of billboards noting street locations, ca. 1953-1960 (Box 94). Included in employee photographs are images of Pacific Outdoor Advertising presidents Hal Brown and his son, Hal Brown, Jr., along with their family members, and long-time employee Woody Ginn (Box 95). A section both companies labeled "P.R." contains images of non-commercial billboards such as civic, governmental, public service and non-profit agency advertisements (Boxes 96-97).
