From February 1949 Popular Mechanics...
'Internally illuminated' plastic faced signs,
as we know them today, didn't exist in 1949.
Neon was the exotic medium for both
display windows and outdoor signage,
and every large and medium sized city
had several sign companies
with in-house neon glassbenders.
