Description
Historical Significance
The NRECA, founded in 1942, spearheaded the development of America’s rural electric infrastructure. This sign is both a piece of advertising and a cultural artifact — a glowing reminder of the era when electricity transformed rural life. The cartoon lineman, lightning bolt motif, and bold typography reflect mid-century design ideals that merged functionality with visual excitement.
