This sign kit was used by accomplished artist and sign maker Kenny Wiese. He is presumed to have worked at General Outdoor during his career, as well as for commercial shops, but eventually had his own shop. He lived in both Colorado and Nebraska at different times. Described as friendly, Wiese had very wide interests and was a collector of Norman Rockwell illustrations.
