ADVANCE MAN COINS INVENTION

A Southeast Missouri man has come up with the answer to a problem familiar to anyone who has used signs for advertising.

Most signs are only visible during daylight hours. This means the sign's message is not seen by potential buyers or renters who pass by the property at night. Now there is a way to give 24-hour visibility to any sign with a new product that uses solar-power to provide illumination.

Inventor Terry Duanne Evans of Advance, Mo., came up with the idea for the TX4 Solo Lite in 1990 when he was working in a sign shop making signs for real estate companies.

This original idea is now being made available for licensing to manufacturers interested in new product development, especially in the outdoor sign products industry. Evans is hoping to have the TX4 Solo Lite in full production and available to the public within the very near future.

Additional information about the TX4 Solo Lite can be obtained by contacting the Publicity/Press Department of Invention Technologies Inc. at (800) 940-9020 ext. 285 or at products@invent-tech.com. Invention Technologies,Inc. is a Coral Gables, Fla.-based firm that is handling the publicity and public relations for the 7X4 Solo Lite.
