When Rosco Started In 1910 This Is What Your Car Might Have Looked Like
That is, if you had a car!
There were only around 8,000 cars in the country when Rosco started in 1910 and only 144 miles of paved roads. Fuel for the car was only sold in drug stores.
But Sydney Kelsey Rosenstein, then 24 years old, started a company in that environment. He named it, appropriately enough Rosco: "Ros", as in Rosenstein and "Co", as in company. It's been 100 years and a lot has changed. But Rosco is still here, thriving through innovation and steadfast faithfulness to the entertainment industries.
We invite you to join us in our journey as we note the changes in the last century and develop the people, products and ideas for the next 100 years.
