ADVANCE STAMP & SIGN - Key Persons

Bernie Sitron had been working for his father Jack in their print shop for a number of years when Bernie realized that he wanted to move in a different direction. In June of 1955 Advance Stamp & Sign opened its doors in Norristown, PA. The initial shop sold rubber stamps, notary seals and other marking equipment. Bernie was running a successful business when his son Steve started working for him in 1971. Steve helped expand the business both in manufacturing technology and sales. Advance stamp started to show more focus in the sign industry while still selling marking equipment and rubber stamps. Steve became well versed in all aspects of the company. In 1984, after much growth and three location changes, Bernie was ready for retirement. Steve purchased the company from him and continued to expand the business.
