Our Founders
Soha Sign Company’s pride in craftsmanship and artistry began with Clyde and Pauleen Soha in 1949. As young newlyweds and entrepreneurs, Clyde and Pauleen were part of the very history of Clark County. Clyde helped to create the identities of many start-up businesses in Vancouver. His first professional job as a sign painter was for Vancouver’s Mission Theater where his task was to paint window displays of upcoming movies. The first vehicle lettering job Clyde completed was a truck for Beverly Hills Pharmacy. Dedicated to their new business, Clyde and Pauleen recall working six days a week painting signs for businesses throughout Clark County. To this day, senior members of Vancouver’s business community remember Soha Sign Company and hold Clyde and Pauleen in fond regard.
Soha Sign Company had very humble beginnings. Clyde and Pauleen purchased the original property, formerly a garden, from a gentleman for one thousand dollars. The poor man was disgruntled with his own children and so virtually gave the piece of land to the lucky young couple. In 1949, on that very spot Clyde and Pauleen built their shop and began building a legacy that many distinguished business owners of today remember well. From neon and mini billboards to vehicles and window displays Soha Sign Company became an important part of the Vancouver business community. In the early days of Marshall Center Clyde even remembers painting signs for the Trapedero Club, a teen dance club at Marshall Center. Civic minded as well, Clyde and Pauleen helped build floats at the old Lucky Lager plant in downtown Vancouver, they made Little League signs and helped out wherever they were needed. Eventually Clyde and Pauleen met Mike Starks at Vancouver Marshall Center where they danced regularly. Mike was working at the center when he saw the accomplished dancers and had to find out more about them. Little did any of them know that one day Mike would be the one to carry on the Soha Sign Company legacy Clyde and Pauleen had worked so hard to build.
Continuing the Tradition
Mike Starks & Sandy Starks
In 1993 Clyde and Pauleen retired and passed on their company to Mike and Sandy. Today both Mike and Sandy continues to honor the artistry of Clyde Soha while constantly adding to the technological capabilities of Soha Sign Company. Soha Sign Company now creates custom signage for companies using an endless variety of techniques and styles. With the added creative talents of Joe and Heath, Mike keeps moving Soha Sign Company to new levels of advertising excellence. Today, Soha Sign continues to distinguish itself from other sign companies with experience, industry knowledge, creativity, and a proud tradition of shaping business identities that began in 1949.
