History of The Blue Horse
The Montag Brothers' Blue Horse trademark rode across the South into thousands of classrooms on the front of writing tablets, composition books, and loose-leaf filler packets for close to 40 years. A marketing promotion launched shortly after the depression to boost lagging sales proved to be a winner for the small stationery and school supply company. Millions of trademarks from Blue Horse products were cut, collected, and redeemed for cash and prizes, and by 1950, Montag was one of the largest companies in the industry. A state-of-the-art 280,000 square foot plant was built on a 21 acre site on Highland Avenue. The property was known to many as the circus grounds where Ringling Brothers stopped and hoisted their big tops every year. Today, the historic office building has undergone a thoughtful renovation. Elements of the original interior, including terrazzo flooring and ceramic tile wainscotting, have been preserved while the back of the building has been opened up with walls of windows and new systems and fixtures have brought the building into the 21st century. Memorabilia of the old Blue Horse brand is proudly displayed in the common areas of the building as a tangible reminder of the building's history.
