Appleton, WI & Neenah, WI
The Appleton Neon Sign Company was established in 1935 located in Appleton, WI. Appleton Neon Sign Co. produced outdoor porcelain enamel signs with neon lettering as well as standard neon signs.
With the end of prohibition in 1933, there was a major boom with sign manufacturers all clamoring to get in the door with distillers, bars, and breweries to advertise their establishment as well as products to patrons. At this time breweries were scrambling to get their name out past the crowded advertising; to fulfill larger orders, they formed a partnership with Mt. Vernon Neon Sign Company located in Mt Vernon, IL. They did work for a variety of clients, especially for breweries like Rahr’s, Rhinelander, Kato, Schlitz, Blatz, Grain Belt, Pabst, and Hamms as well as many others.
They are is still in business to this day; however, they changed their name to Appleton Sign Company and are still producing outdoor advertising signs.
Below are a few examples of Appleton Neon Sign Company signs:
