During a recent late night walk with friends along the channels in Venice CA, and later during a photo trip to Venice, I came across another fence sign.In a warm summer night walking along the channels in Venice California, we came a cross a sign at a construction site, we were curious, who Andy Gump is. Andy Gump sounded like a performer in Las Vegas, don't miss the show, don't miss Andy Gump. Or said in the construction ground language, get another fence, they are so hip. One thing we noticed, he must be really proud of his fences, usually you only see this small Santa Monica fence signs, almost ashamed of it, but here is another Andy Gump. You want to see all of them, the fences, you can be proud of.
But who is Andy Gump? Does he really exist, or is it just a marketing idea, I became curious, has he just started a business e.g. a recent immigrant to CA, or is he around for decades? Thanks to Google I found out, it looks the Andy Gump construction site service company is really committed to service to the community, a commitment, which is reflected in the fence signs. Recently I learned from a successful entrepreneur about the concept of honesty in marketing, selling what you are good at and only at a quality you would accept for yourself and most important, telling the people about it, it looks it works for the Gump fence and portable sanitation business too. Even the Gump portable toilet business stinks, Andy is able to make you feel good about. who does not want another Andy Gump. I am generally curious about the world I am living in and thanks to the Andy Gump sign, I learned about the history of a traditional California family business and the people committed to it, read about another Andy Gump if you are curious about it:
