Pleasant Thoughts was founded sometime in the 1950s by Kenneth Walker in Waukegan, Ill. The company was very successful and sold to Gibson in 1962. Gibson kept the name up as a line and last renewed the trademark on the name on August 8th, 2002. 

After the sale of Pleasant Thoughts, Walker went on to found another very successful company,  Advantage Rent-A-Car.
