The largest independent sign
company west of Toronto has.
moved its operation to
Centralia's. Industrial Park. On
the second day of 1969, Acme
Neon Signs (London) Ltd.,
began their sign manufacturing
business in building 36, formerly
occupied by the C & E section at
the former RCAF station.
The complete operation was
moved to Centralia along with
PLANT SUPERINTENDENT BILL SRIGLEY WITH A SIGN READY FOR SHIPMENT
a resident of Huron Park who
has been in this type of business
for close to 20 years.
In 1949, Deary started his
own company, Lettercraft of
Canada and manufactured
plastic letters. He is now a major
shareholder in Acme.
Neon and plastic signs and
highway billboards of all shapes
and sizes are manufactured at
Centralia.
The basic reason for moving
to Centralia was the larger
quarters available along with the
opportunity to operate a little
more economically than in the
city.
Firth said, "We didn't need to
stay in London. Centralia is well
in the centre of our trading area
which extends from Windsor on
the south, to Niagara Falls and
Toronto on the east and Owen
Sound to the north."
The general manager went on
to say, "The combination of
plastic and neon sign seems to
becoming the most popular.
Plastic gives brilliance and high
intensity in illumination while
neon provides the action."
The company employs four
salesmen that have certain
specified territories and come up
with their own contacts.
After contacting a prospective
customer, the salesman brings a
request for a sketch back to the
Centralia office on the basis of
information on the business and
the building on which the sign
may be installed.
The Acme artists do a full
colour sketch and it is then
taken back to the customer for
any changes and his approval. If
an order is forthcoming it is
taken back for office approval.
The accepted sketch is then
given to the plant
superintendent for the necessary
work order. The layout
department does an actual full
scale pattern of the sign.
Next in line is the metal shop
for fabrication of the metal to
be used. The pattern goes on to
the neon or plastic shop or both
for manufacturing of the tubes
and plastic letters.
At the same time, the box
built in the metal shop is being
wired and painted. The plastic or
neon is then installed on the sign
which is ready for testing under
C.S.A. and Ontario Hydro
regulations.
After testing, the sign is ready
for shipment to the customer
and installation by an Acme
crew on the site.
Customers may purchase their
signs outright or enter into a
five-year rental contract with
payment on a monthly basis.
The company now has about
800'
.
'signs v out on rental',

location in London.
General manager Alec Firth
said eight workers were recruited
locally to go with the nucleus.of
the staff from London. Of the
London workers that started
commuting, eight have taken up
residence in'Hitron Park,
The Centralia based firm is
headed by president Bill Deary,
