Coleman Lanterns 100 years of superior lighting
Founded over 100 years ago W.C. Coleman started the Coleman company in order to produce a better lighting solution for areas in America that had not yet received electrical service. The main light sources for rural America at the time were kerosene lanterns. These lanterns were extremely smoky and gave a dim yellow light. Coleman believed a better light source was needed. Using the new found fuel called gasoline Coleman was able to produce a cleaner burning and brighter lantern that quickly became popular.
