Continuing my walk from the parking lot to the Fox Theatre in Detroit to the Buggles concert, I saw this stamp. I love how much information is packed into it and how crisp it is.

According to the history page on their Web site, Thayer Power and Communication (or TPC) was founded in 1964 by David Thayer and his (oddly unnamed) brother. They originally set poles for power and telephone companies. Over the years they expanded into installing telephone, power, and eventually fiber lines. They have quite a few offices but most of them are actually in Ohio.
