If first you don’t succeed, try, try again. That was obviously Thomas Edison’s motto.
• Edison tried over 6000 filament materials from around the world
• Spent over $40,000 (1 million plus in 2010 dollars)
• Conducted more than 1,200 experiments
October 19, 1879, Edison and his assistants one more time, powered up a new filament. They took turns watching it around the clock and more than 40 hours later it was still glowing. Edison knew he made it work!
How would you like to own just one share of stock that was valued at $3,500? That’s what the priced eventually soared to for the Edison Electric Company weeks after they announced the invention of the light bulb in the New York Herald on December 21, 1879.
Light bulbs first went on sale in 1880 and the world has never been the same. In a simple response to his incredible invention, Edison told a reporter, “I have accomplished all I promised.”
