“The huge sign/display from Bond clothing was created in 1948 and was 50 feet tall and 200 feet wide, spanned two streets, and featured a 50,000 gallon waterfall! Surrounding this waterfall were two classical-style figures of a man and woman who were nude during the day, but clothed in neon togas and dresses at night. Topping this sign was a clock which stated that at "every hour, 3,490 people buy at…” Bond. Below this extravagant sign were a news ticker, or “news zipper”, and the bottom of the old Bond sign, including the famous “O” clock dial This sign was one of the most spectacular, if not the most spectacular sign to ever hang in Times Square, and at $350,000, most likely the most expensive It existed until 1954."
