kilokat's ANTIQUE LIGHT BULB site : The Beacon Vacuum Pump And Electrical Co.

The Beacon Vacuum Pump And Electrical Co., of Boston, as their advertisement shows this week, are again leading the race in the incandescent lamp business with a reduced price list. They are now advertising their 16 c. p. lamps in barrel lots at 25 cents each, and expect to do a very large trade at this price. The Beacon lamp has recently met with much success, and they have been selling large quantities. In order to make more room for their increased trade, they have leased a floor in the building opposite their present premises, and will remove their machine shop to the new quarters. This will give them a much increased capacity for the manufacture of lamps, as they are at present somewhat crowded. The Beacon Company are evidently in the business to stay, and are determined to give their customers the very best price possible, and boldly advertise their price. It is only by their improved machinery and the fact that they intend doing a very large business that they are enabled to make this extremely low price.
