Christmas tree lights

In 1917, when Albert Sadacca was 15 years old, there was a terrible fire in New York City, it had been caused by a Christmas tree catching fire, for in those days Christmas trees were still lit by placing candles on the branches.

Now it just so happened that Albert’s family, who had come from Spain, had a novelty business selling wicker cages with imitation birds in them that lit up.

Albert suggested to his parents that they begin making electric lights for Christmas trees. They had lots of bulbs on hand, and it would be much safer than using candles.

The Sadaccas thought Albert had a good idea, but only one hundred strings of electric Christmas tree lights sold in the first year.

After Albert thought of painting the bulbs red, green, and other colors instead of using plain glass, business picked up sharply.

As a matter of fact, Albert Sadacca became the head of a multi – million dollar company.
