What sort of signage did ballrooms require?

Looking at events called "ball" as described by the locals, roughly at the time:

While Mr. Leese was erecting his mansion, which seems to have been rather a grand structure, being made of frame, sixty feet long and twenty-five feet broad, Captain Kichardson was kindly proceeding across the bay to Sonoma, where he invited all the principal folks of the quarter to a banquet in the new building. Two events—each great in their way—were to be celebrated:
first, Independence Day, and next, the arrival of Mr. Leese in the country, his welcome and house-warming. The two worthy souls, cordially fraternizing, were determined to make a great affair of it ; and so indeed it happened. As it was the first grand scene in the future San Francisco, where there have since been so many, we are tempted to dwell a little on the eventful occasion. Future generations will pleasantly reflect on this auspicious commencement to the pride of the Pacific, then like a new-born infant cradled by its tender parents, Capt. Kichardson and Mr. Leese, and tricked out in all the magnificence of an heir's baby clothes.

First of all was given the union of the Mexican and American flags. (How little did the convivial parties then dream of the near advent of the sole and absolute sway of the Americans in the country!) General Vallejo next paid the honors to Washington. Then followed appropriate national and individual toasts in their order ; but which it is needless to particularize. The guests were as happy as mortals could well be and, in short, "all went merry as a marriage; bell." The abundance and variety of liquors at table seemed to tickle the Californians amazingly. One worthy gentleman took a prodigious fancy to lemon syrup, a tumbler full of which he would quaff to every toast. This soon made him sick, and sent him off with a colic which was all matter of mirth to his "jolly companions, every one." At ten o'clock our "city fathers" got the table cleared for further action, and dancing and other amus*m*nts then commenced. The ball was kept hot and rolling incessantly, all that night, and it appears, too, the following day for, as Mr. Leese naively observes, in his interesting; and amusing diary, "our fourth ended on the evening of the fifth" Many of the simple-minded Indians and such lower class white people as were not invited, had gathered around while the festivities and sports were going on among the people of quality, and could not contain themselves for joy, but continually exclaimed, "Que buenos son los Americanos!" ––What capital fellows these Americans are ! And doubtless the white gentry thought, and often said the same." (p170–172)

As this Mr Leese and his "mansion" illustrate a bit the conditions a few years before Larkin ordered handsome ball room signs and handsome paper for a room, it looks as if the signs are not intended for interior decoration, unlike the wallpaper.

The signs seem to intended for outdoor marketing, a simple but nice looking shop sign.

Like the 'typical':

Or more to the point:

But since we look for 'handsome', perhaps a little less rustic:

That is just circumstantial, and thus just guessing, but now this looks pretty much like quite ordinary shop signage of slightly elevated quality: "Ballroom here" (ie, wanna dance, come here, our wallpaper is also handsome). What still puzzles is how crude locally available signs must have been; or how good Hawaiian artists/materials? Ultimately I conclude that ballrooms did not require such signs, but that they were nice to have to show that the building that had them was a dedicated, 'proper' establishment.
