W MAKE SALESMEN OF YOUR WINDOWS AFTER DARK A store may shut its doors at sunset, but if its show windows are Kleetrie Lighted mid attractively dressed they are doing ns effective soliciting for the next day's business as a corps of sales people. Up-to-date storH nowadays consider window lighting a necessity, whether they remain open after dark'or not. Competition forces modern methods. Is your store "SHUT UP" after sunset in the old style or in the new? There is no known illumiiiaut which will light a shop window ns effectively, handsomely and satisfactorily as Klcctric Light. Fabrics are shown in their true colors and every little detail is brought out in true proportion to its surroundings. If your window is not Klcctricully Lighted you are throwing away chances for increasing your business only measured by the nuuibcr of people that pass your store nftcr dark. Uascd 011 our new scale of Reduced Rates for current on Meter basis, Klcctric Light is not an expense it is an ECONOMY. For iuforuiatiou'call AM IN 6688.
