The year is 1932. A young man named Harold Eggleston, his new bride, Evelyn, and their three kids struggle to make ends meet in the middle of the great depression. Harold, a handy guy, works hard fixing radios and scraping together any other work he can find.

A few years later, through happenstance and good nature, Harold befriends an entrepreneurial gentlemen who owns the Acme Neon Accessory Company of Detroit. Upon learning that the company is in need of a Grand Rapids, Michigan branch, Harold and the owner of Acme strike a deal that allows Eggleston to run the new location. By the time WWII ends, Harold has built a solid reputation and enough capital to purchase the Grand Rapids branch, which soon becomes the Wholesale Electric and Neon Supply Company (WENSCO).

Already as a young man, Harold Jr. was both interested in the business and expected to help dad and mother whenever possible. In 1955, he came up with the idea of delivering sign supplies out of a big van truck, a "warehouse on wheels" as he likes to call it. And by 1973, the company has three trucks on the road. The industry is quickly changing, though, and this method becomes increasingly less practical to serve their ever expanding list of customers. So the family decides to create more places to warehouse their supplies.

Today, Harold Jr. is chairman emeritus of Wensco, while his daughter Judy Nelson, is President and CEO. Wensco maintains large inventories at locations in Grand Rapids and Detroit, Michigan, as well as Davenport, Iowa, supplying companies with sign supplies and a wide range of other products and services. And you should see that fleet of trucks today! At last count there were twelve, still delivering products to a diverse list of customers, far and wide.
