Vickie and Toby Vaughn, the current owners, purchased the historical company in 2022. They chose to keep the Witt family name on the business because it had been an established name in Lebanon for a century and because they had a close personal connection with the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Toby was 16 years old when he began working with his father installing signs. Toby\u2019s father did subcontract work for Russell Witt Jr. This started a friendship and working relationship between the two families that would last many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Witt family history is an inspirational story of endurance in the midst of tragedy. Russell Witt Sr. was the founder of Witt Sign Company, but he tragically died at a young age, leaving behind his wife, Ruth Witt, who took over the operations. According to Vickie, it was a remarkable achievement for a woman to run her own business during that era. Ruth Witt\u2019s dedication to her family and community kept Witt Sign Company strong and successful until Russell Witt Jr. was old enough to take over. He continued the tradition of excellence and dependability at the company for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/05\/Story-1-photo1-4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22645\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/05\/Story-1-photo1-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/05\/Story-1-photo1-4-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/lebanon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2025\/05\/Story-1-photo1-4-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photography by Robin Holcomb<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2022, the Vaughns offered to purchase Witt Sign Company from Russell Witt Jr.\u2019s daughters. They accepted, knowing that the Vaughns would keep their father\u2019s legacy alive. Toby is a second-generation sign maker and has all the experience and skills needed to continue his craftsmanship at Witt Sign Co. The Vaughns\u2019 20-year-old son, Tucker, also works for the company alongside his parents, carrying on the tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur son, Tucker, is a third-generation sign man. We have lots of experience, knowledge, and history in the sign industry,\u201d Toby said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Witt Sign Company Inc.\u2019s sales and services include large multi-tenant signs, electronic message centers, channel letters, wall signs, neon signs, awnings, parking lot lighting, and more. They pride themselves on using the best materials and offering quality products and installations. For the Vaughns, the sign business is about more than just manufacturing and installation; they want to help businesses establish their identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Vickie one of the most rewarding aspects of the industry is seeing new businesses develop their unique identities and communicate just the right image to their customers through the professional, top-quality signage that Witt Sign Company Inc. produces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want the communities to know that we love the products that we sell, and those products will stand the test of time,\u201d Vickie said. The Vaughns hope that Witt Sign Company Inc. and its heritage will continue to grow and thrive for generations to come. <strong>GN<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WITT SIGN Company Inc. has created quality signage since 1922.
