If you have a large, blank exterior wall that just sits there, why not use it to your advantage. This is the perfect place for a sign to tell others who you are, the business you are in, and why they need to use your goods or services.
Pollitt Signs is a fast, courteous and cost effective company. Providing customers top notch signs. Since 1947 Pollitt Signs has been supplying and servicing signs in Harford and Cecil County, and remains a friendly, attentive family business.
During our time in the sign business, technology has changed, and we have kept up with those changes. The hand painted signs that we originally built our business on have been superseded by several technologies, including the use of vinyl lettering, and, of course, signs capable of producing dynamic information, such as temperature and time signs. If you are seeking signs, of any kind, please contact us, where we can provide you with fast, courteous and cost effective service.

Did you know that the phrase “Ye olde” found on different signs is actually a mistranslation. The word taken as “Ye” was in reality the Anglo-Saxon letter “eth” and indicated one of the “th” sounds. It looked like an italicized D with a slanted line through its stem. Over time, the loop of the D faded, leaving only a symbol resembling a “Y,” thus the “Ye.”
