Keep Bright and You
WILL KEEP BUSY
Klcctric Light is the magnet that draws trade. The
bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can
no more resist the attraction of n brilliant, Klcctriciilly lighted
store than they can resist the clarion call of a brass band.
Is your competitor with the Klvctrictilly illuminated show
windows, bright interior and sparkling Klcctric Sign getting
an advantage over you ? The moth never flutters mound the
uulighted caudle I Up-to-date stores nowadays consider
shnp'wiudow lighting a necessity, whether they remain oeu
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 in detail aud fabrics in their true colors.
Aud don't neglect the Klcctric Sign. It is soliciting
"tomorrow's" business every moment it is lighted burning
your name in the public mind, It is a solicitor that never
becomes weary never stops work costs little.
