IT is rare for this type of ephemeral marketing material to survive more than half a century. The production of this Space oriented marketing booklet was an indication of the capabilities and vision of the owners. We researched to see if this firm was still in business and it is. Vision Graphics Inc. as we know it today was founded by Francis E Brooks in 1952 as Frontier Lettershop in Cheyenne WY. Frontier evolved from an earlier startup in the employment agency business which was sold to an employee. Frontier grew over the years, with name changes to Frontier Printing and Mailing and then back to Frontier Printing Inc. The company was sold to some staff in the early 1980's and four years later was reacquired by its founder. In 1986, Mr. Brooks recruited his nephew Mark Steputis into the business. Mark had graduated from San Diego State University with a degree in marketing. As the years went by Mark got more involved with the management of the company and was promoted to Vice President, and by 1995 was named President of the company. Mark acquired ownership of the company, in 1996 after his uncle's passing. At this point the company was marketing its services to a wider and wider geographic area and the bulk of the work was coming from Northern Colorado companies while the company remained in Cheyenne WY. The company grew quickly and Vision became a dominate player in the rocky mountain market with business across the country.
