__G.H.
“Doc” Morgan founded Doc Morgan Inc. in 1974. However the history began
in 1929 as Mr. Morgan sold high school class rings while attending college
himself. This was with the Herff-Jones Company. From that experience Mr.
Morgan developed a fascination and love for the emblematic jewelry business.
In 1934 he moved to Chicago to open and run a local office for Herff-Jones,
followed by a branch factory in 1938. This operation was maintained while
Mr. Morgan served two years with the U.S. Army (W.W.II) after which he
returned to the Chicago area and resumed his career.
In the interim, Mr. Morgan's entrepreneurial spirit motivated him to open
his own business. He purchased the Herff-Jones office and Chicago factory
and Morgans Inc. was launched. In 1953 Morgans Inc. headed west to its
current location in St. Charles Illinois. During the early 1970's Lenox
Awards (division of the famous Lenox China) acquired Morgans Inc. and
Doc Morgan Inc. was established. Moving further west (across the Fox River)
in St. Charles, Doc Morgan Inc. is presently located at 108 South Second
Street.
Since that time, Doc Morgan Inc. has had the privilege of serving national/international
groups as well as corporate accounts. Some of those being Altrusa International,
Zonta International, YMCA of the USA, Lions International, Realtors, Job's
Daughters International, American Association of Medical Assistants, plus
many local hospitals, financial institutions and municipalities.
Though he elected to retire at the age of 92 years, Mr. Morgan created
a legacy that will stand the test of time. His high expectations for value,
quality, service and detail continue under the new owners. Collectively
they have 50 years tutelage under the guidance of Mr. Morgan.
We would love the opportunity to show you how that gained knowledge can
assist you in your corporate gift programs and emblematic award requirements.
Be it jewelry or accolades, our staff is waiting to assist you.
