Working on the principles left behind by his predecessors, French inventor Georges Claude was finally able to create the first true neon light in 1910. His invention was essentially the first neon sign in history, which was introduced at the Paris Expo in December of the same year. It was a device that consisted of two 38-foot long tubes, which illuminated a wide area with its bright light. This characteristic of neon lighting later inspired the term “liquid fire.”
Two years later, Claude was already selling his invention to patrons; the first one being a sign sold to a Parisian barber shop owner. By 1915, Claude’s invention reached American shores with Earle C. Anthony purchasing the lighting novelty for his Packard automobile dealership. Since then, neon signs have been illuminating the advertising landscape with their flashing images and signs in Tulsa, OK, as well as in other metropolitan cities all over the world.
