; ." V every ten stores in ' ,
' this city. are well lighted'
and hardly any store is lighted to . .
. .. lO'o of the brightness
. which exists out of doors
on a clear day.
No wonder that merchants , -universally
find that
' as they improve the
lighting in their stores
sales increase by leaps ' , .
and hounds.
When goods are better ,
lighted they become
more, attractive;
customers see merchandise
more easily and naturally
' ' make up their minds
more readily to buy.
besides salespeople don't. ,
grow fatigued so rapidly,
are more cheerful, obliging
and efficient and consequent ly '
sell more goods. ,
Commencing Monday, November 1(, and ending Decern I n-r lit, our representatives will visit
every commercial house in our territory offering free advice on proper lighting, and wc will
have for sale the best lighting unit yet perfected for store lighting which will be installed
on the most lilieral terms ever announced.
