HISTORY BEHIND THE NAME

When a company survives to the fifth generation, it becomes a legend. H.A. BALTON SIGN COMPANY is one of those legends. Founded in 1961 by H.A. Balton, Jr., the company continues under current management to serve the Memphis and Mid South area with the 'Quality' motto that began in 1875 with Balton & Sons Sign Co..
D.F. Balton founded the company before signs as we know them today were produced, when house painting was their main source of revenue, decades before Neon signs were even invented.
H.A. Balton Sign Company specializes in custom electric signs. Known for their quality and outstanding designs, they are sought not only by Memphis area businesses, but also by national concerns. No other sign company can take credit for both the design of perhaps the most successful commercial sign ever built, the original Holiday Inn landmark sign, and fabrication of the world's largest ice cream tub, Angel Food Ice Cream's twenty foot diameter bucket.
Today, with a reputation of quality firmly planted in tradition of excellance and service, H.A. Balton Sign Company continues to advance the state of its art with the 21st century technology of its 'Baltronics' Electronic Message Centers. A simple formula for success, The public will notice GOOD, CLEAN, CRISP DESIGNS, THAT ARE EASY TO READ.
