New Lighting Agency in San Francisco, California

What potentially "hot" sales area has an agency at an address of "Ice House 403"?
ANSWER: San Francisco and Northern California.  The agency's name is Lighting Systems, Inc.,
headed by J. Stanley Heywood.  M.r Heywood, who was marketing and general sales manager of Prescolite, division of U.S. Lighting Industries, joined with Lighting Associates, Inc. of San Francisco and Larry L. Routh also formerly with Prescolite to form a new agency called Lighting Systems, Inc.

Mr. Heywood became general sales manager at Prescolite after joining them in 1952 as a salesman, advancing to Eastern Sales Manager in 1956 and General Sales Manager 4 years ago.
Lighting Associates, Inc., was jointly owned by Lewis Gill, Alva E. Thompson and Anthony J. Biro. In the new organization, Al Thompson will service as secretary, Gill and Biro as vice presidents. Another member of the firm, Wayne Miller will serve as office manager and Larry Routh will serve as treasurer.

These men as a combination represent approximately 80 years of experience in the lighting industry. With this many years of experience in lighting, do you think we will hear much from their agency?   
You bet your sweet lamp we will!
