"Apart from the early displays on the
premises of Messrs. Mawson & Swan in Mosley Street, James Coxon, an
enterprising linen-draper of Newcastle, was the first to adopt the Swan
lamp for shop-lighting, thus proving himself a pioneer in what has been
one of the most extensively exploited applications of the incandescent
electric lamp, namely, its use for purposes of advertisement."(p75)
I am indebted
to Lois Saleeba in Australia (descended from Isaac Coxon) for help in
identifying many of these people.
The Coxons are also being researched by
Stoker Wilson
who has a wealth of information.
