Keep Bright and You
WILL KEEP BUSY
Electric Ught is the magnet that draws trade. The
bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business, People can
no more resist the attraction of a brilliant, Klectrically lighted
store than they can resist the clarion call of n brass baud.
Is your competitor with the Klectrically illuminated show
windows, bright interior and sparkling Klectric Sign getting
an advantage over you? The moth never flutters around the
unlighted candle I Up-to-date stores nowadays consider
shop-window lighting a necessity, whether they remain ojeii
after dark or not. Competition forces modern methods.
A show window brilliantly Illuminated with Klcctric
light will make many a sale "the night before." Klcctric
light compels attention, makes easy the examination of your
display, shows goods iu detail and fabrics iu their true colors,
And don't neglect the Klectric Sign. It is soliciting
"tomorrow's" business every moment it Is lighted burning
your name iu the public mind. It is a solicitor that never
becomes weary never stops work - costs little.
