Coleman Lanterns a Light Source for Over 100 Years - By: Martin Wilkins

W.C. Coleman began the Coleman company in the early 1900's specifically to produce a superior lantern. He noticed a gas lantern burning in a store as He passed and decided the new technology was far superior to the current Kerosene lanterns. Kerosene lanterns of the day gave off a dim light and were very smoky causing their use indoors to be messy and inefficient.

Coleman lanterns were designed at the time to use gasoline as a fuel which allowed them to give off a much brighter light and greatly reduced the smoke and fumes associated with lantern use. Electricity was not common in most of the country at the time especially in rural areas. W.C. Coleman was looking for a better light to read by at night as He had difficulties reading by the current kerosene lanterns in use at the time.

The Coleman company has grown over the years to produce many different products for outdoor and camping use. Products ranging from Coolers and Ice Chests, Tents, Stoves , Grills and many options in outdoor lighting.
