A-M began as the Morrison Sign Company, founded by Jerome V. Morrison (one-time mayor of Lynchburg, Virginia). In 1919, the Morrison company was taken over by the Allen family who retained the reputable Morrison name (hence the hyphenated name). Through its signs, A-M was instrumental in shaping Lynchburg’s visual landscape and would eventually be central in transforming the visual panorama across the United States. Early A-M signs were hand-painted on wood, glass and metal. In the early 1920s hand-painted signs were quickly being replaced by tin, porcelain and enamel. A-M speedily adapted and immediately developed a reputation for producing signs that showed high-quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, vibrant colors and durability. They created traditional signs, billboards and other outdoor advertising for many oil and soda companies along with a wide variety of other businesses from small local stores to large corporations. During the 1940s and 1950s, they reportedly produced approximately 80% of all porcelain signs across the country, including the majority of all Coca-Cola signs. This number is a testament to the quality of their products and their stellar reputation as a leading sign-making company in the U.S. A-M remained a family owned and operated business throughout its history until it ceased operations in 1990.
