History
Luminous Neon Wholesale Sign Company was established by Bob McBride in 1928 in Kansas City, MO, at the height of neon's introduction to the United States. The company fabricated and sold signs over a six-state area. In 1939 the company moved to Hutchinson, KS, and changed its name to Luminous Neon. Activities were concentrated primarily in Hutchinson and Western Kansas. The partnership of Luminous Neon was dissolved in 1961. Luminous Neon, Inc. purchased the company's assets from Bob McBride and Walt McBride was elected President. In 1963 Luminous Neon, Inc. purchased Coltron Signs of Dodge City, KS. With the purchase, the company established a permanent shop in Western Kansas. Several other acquisitions expanded the company's outdoor advertising division. In January 1970, Walt McBride retired. The company's stockholders elected Mert Sellers, Secretary-Treasurer at the time, President.
