| Section I | Timeline of significant events during Voss Lighting’s history, from 1876-2010. |
| Section II | Review of Voss Lighting’s early history prior to its founding by Henry Voss, from 1876-1938. We begin in 1876, with the birth of Henry Voss’s father in Germany; then we’ll go to 1882, when Henry’s parents immigrated to America from Germany. We’ll watch as the Voss family began their new life in the "sandhills" of western Nebraska, farming and raising a fine family. So, if you want to review Henry Voss’s youth, his upbringing, and his immigrant father and grandfather – the ones who prepared the way so that Henry Voss could learn to be a patriotic, hard working American – please be sure to read Section II. |
| Section III | Review of Voss Lighting’s modern historical highlights, from 1939 to 2010. |

"Father did a great thing to bring us all to the greatest freedom on earth."
Quote by A.M.Voss, Henry Voss’s father, from A.M.’s life story, written in 1963 at the age of 87.
Voss Lighting’s motto, "We Sell To Tell," is explained by our MISSION STATEMENT:
Our business mission is to provide premier lighting products with courteous, dependable, and knowledgeable service for the benefit of our valued customers and our various vendors.
Our biblical mission is to "sell" our lighting products so that we may "tell" everyone we can of God’s soul-saving, life-transforming Gospel message, as Jesus instructed believers to do.
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." (Mark 16:15)
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." (John 3:16)
