The first neon signs were built in France and imported to the United States, however, this method of producing signs was impractical and soon licensing rights for the manufacture of neon tubing in the U.S. was sold to Federal Sign & Signal Co. of Chicago. In turn, Federal Sign sold franchises to other sign companies in various cities throughout the USA. Our name was derived from CLAUDE, the inventor, NEON from the product itself, and FEDERAL from the licensing company.
