This very early catalogue has an interesting definition of Streetlites - namely any light
installed on the street. This includes the modern definition of a street light as well as shop display lights,
sign lights, extra lights and so on. Only those I would consider street lights by the modern definition have been
included.
Believed to date from 1910, this catalogue clearly shows the state of the industry; multiple bulbs in well-glass style
fittings, no reflectors or refractors, and no scientific approach to the subject.
The names of the lanterns, spare glassware and brackets has to be seen to be believed!

the Lantern. Otherwise it will be assumed that Enamelled Zinc is desired.
