These signs, flashing intermittent- ly or standing in great banks of light, throw 25,000,000 candle power into the street, with a nightly cur- rent consumption of 17,800 kilowatt hours, it has been determined by the New York Edison company. This display, dedicated to adver- tising, has grown from a little sigr with 200 lamps placed where the Flatiron building low stands, which, in 1895, heralded: “Manhattar Beach Swept by Ocean Breezes.” Elcctricity Conserved However, economy 1is exercised even in this prodigality of light. The theater signs are light at dusk, but often turned off before the per- formances are over. Many of the large signs shine only at specified hours when the large growds are on the street. Supper clubs often do not light their signs until later when they wish to attract after- theater groups Theaters Rank Seventh There are 18,000 signs now on Broadway, with a present increase of about 5,000 annually, until space in which to hang or eet them is at a premium. Theaters, which originally made the otherwise drab street what it is, have dropped to seventh in the classification of users of signs, with about 700 displays. Restaurants lead the procession with 2,885, Tobacco companies are néar the top with 1,100, In the most desirable spaces, the roofs of the bulldings often bring a higher rental than offices. One four story building, only ecight feéet deep, erected solely for sign dis- plans, brings an annual rental of $90,000. Largest Sign Demolished. The largest sign in the world re- cently was demolished when the building holding it was wrecked. It contained twenty-one milés of Wiring, was 200 feet long and was as high as a five story building. Sinee its destruction, a sfgn atop the United States Rubber company building, advertising the company and itg tires, is numbered among the largest. Facing north angd south, the double display is set tn a frame eighty-eight feet wide and fifty-three feet high. Its {llumina- tion i8 estimated at 250,000 candle- power. A sign advertising “The Big Parade” upholds the theater's visual prestige with 200,000 candle-power of illumination, while the Chevro- let automobile sign, covered entire- ly with bulbs over an area fifty by sixty-four, casts 175,000 candle- power. Challenges Stars Two other signs, both size, stand high in the sk them being that of the company, a double display 354 feet above the street, Nearby is the Gotham bank sign, an eighty ton structure resting on the steel col- umps of%he building 347 feet above the street. A “color animation” sign con- sidered a radical innovation in dis- play, made its appearance in adver- tising the motion picture “Don Juan.” This new sign, employing the colors red and blue, makes it possible to create the illusion of fourteen different motions by figures on it. The Great White Way is not only for the benefit of visitors to New York, but has a peculiar place in the heart of the city. . When the signs were dimmed during the war in the interest of conservation, such a protest was raised that they were turned on again within a few days.
