Walter Foster and George Kleiser were outdoor advertising's original pioneers. They began doing business as Foster & Kleiser Outdoor Advertising in 1901 and were probably responsible for many of Portland's old painted signs I've illustrated in this blog. Their business grew tremendously in the 20th century, being sold and acquired several times throughout the years. It's now known as Clear Channel Outdoor, a division of giant Clear Channel Communications.
