Fonctions : From the Brooks Corning Office Furniture Store, 655 Hornby. Designed and manufactured by the Neon Products company of Vancouver. Established in 1928, Neon Products was the original and most prolific manufacturer of neon signs in Western Canada. Signs produced by the company were generally custom made and leased, not sold, to clients. Neon Products maintained and repaired the signs for an annual fee. During the height of neon's popularity in the 1950's, Neon Products was responsible for the production of some of Vancouver's most famous neon signs including the Regent Tailors sign, the Aristocratic Restaurants sign and the enormous BOW MAC auto dealership sign. Today, Neon Products is one of largest lease/custom design sign companies in the world.
