THEN AND NOW

Luke and Chuck Williams grew up working in their family’s sign business. The brothers returned from WWII with the idea for their own venture. In 1950, the brothers devised an electronic sign that flashed the time and temperature and their first sign went up on the Spokane and Eastern branch of Seattle First National Bank at Howard St. and Riverside Ave. in 1953. Over the next four decades, time and temp signs made by American Sign and Indicator became a common sight on banks everywhere. The company also built many scoreboards seen in ballparks and stadiums around the country. The company defended many patent challenges through the 1960s and 1970s. Luke was a city councilman and a promoter of Expo ’74. The company claimed 7000 signs in operation in 1977. By 1979, the company had 750 employees and more than $40 million in annual sales. Williams brothers sold their company in 1983 to a leasing company and stayed with the company. In a flurry of corporate sales and takeovers, the company that once grew like wildfire was slowly reduced to a flicker of its former glory and years under threat of another patent lawsuit from a Swiss firm. The company headquarters was moved from Spokane in 1990. Charles died in 1993. Luke Williams declared bankruptcy in 1994 to protect his own assets. Even as the lawsuits bogged down AS&I, he started American Electronic Sign and later sold that to 3M. The Seattle First National Bank building and the original AS&I sign, came down in 1980 to make way for the 20-story SeaFirst tower, now
