1952: temporary sign for the Anheuser-Busch's Budweiser groundbreaking, Van Nuys, California.
Groundbreaking Day set-up.
"The opening of the Budweiser plant on Roscoe Blvd. was a big event. Costing $20,000,000 and employing 1500 workers,
the plant was a large contributor to the post-war prosperity of Van Nuys.
'Busch Gardens and Bird Sanctuary' became part of the complex and a major tourist attraction for many years until it closed in 1976."
