One of Trenton's most notable landmarks is the Delaware River bridge with the enormous neon slogan, "Trenton Makes - The World Takes", affectionately called the "Trenton Makes Bridge". The bridge itself was constructed in 1928, on stone piers that have been continually supporting a bridge since 1806. The slogan was adopted by the City of Trenton during the 1920s to represent Trenton's leading position in the manufacturing of steel, rubber, wire rope, linoleum and ceramics.
By the 1930s, the Trenton Chamber of Commerce felt the need to proclaim the slogan to the rest of the world that so greedily partook of Trenton's labors. The following excerpt was published by the Chamber of Commerce in 1936.
"In 1935 the Trenton Chamber of Commerce erected a mammoth electric sign on the vehicular bridge crossing the Delaware River at Trenton. This sign was built by a Trenton firm: Hutchinson Signs, Inc. Believed to be one of the largest neon community signs in the world, it is 330 feet long and has letters seven feet high, with capital letters nine feet. The entire cost of erecting, maintaining, and operating this sign is paid out of the Chamber's treasury. Thousands of passengers traveling on the Pennsylvania Railroad trains can see it from the nearby railroad bridge. Thus Trenton's widely known slogan, "Trenton Makes -- The world Takes," was flashed before the public day and night throughout the year 1936"
Over the years, the great neon sign had suffered neglect and fallen to disrepair. As part of Trenton's renaissance and revitalization, the neon sign was restored in 1981 with new steel and neon and letters more immense than the original. The slogan now stands today greater than before, proclaiming Trenton's heritage and future. |
