Eighty years ago a small boy on a Nebraska farm read and reread the Arabian Nights story of Aladdin by the flickering yellow light of an open flame "coal oil lamp." Years later that boy, now a man, found a lamp that erased the darkness with a soft white light. Naturally he named the lamp "Aladdin." An appropriate name for this revolutionary boon to rural America seemed nothing short of magic in the intensity of its light.

For those who lit the lamp, trimmed its wick and cleaned its chimney, or just enjoyed its friendly glow, the Aladdin lamp recalls many memories of childhood. By its soft light many boys and girls acquired the knowledge that helped them realize their dreams and aspirations.

Later Aladdin brought this white light to every corner of the globe. For many it has been the only light of their entire life. Even when electricity comes there are a loyal few who profess to use the electric light only "to find a match" to light their Aladdin lamp.

Now you too can enjoy both the nostaligic warm glow and the practical lighting of an authentic Aladdin lamp.  In this period of energy uncertainty, your Aladdin lamp with its light and warmth is a welcome companion in times of emergency. The noiseless, smokeless, odorless operation of  your new Aladdin lamp allows it to enrich any occasion with its soft, serene glow.
