Can I sell you a Neon Sign? What are its advantages?

Well, a neon sign costs nothing because it constumes 1/5th to 1/8th the usual amount of electricity. This savity effected during a cer tain period of time pays for its initia cost of installation and, just think of the advertising value you are getting all that time and all for nothing!
