Ivlectiic Light is the magnet that draws trade. The
bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People cuu
110 more resist the attraction of 11 brilliant, Hlcchicnlly lighted
store than they can resist the clarion call of 11 brass band.
Is your couictitnr with the Klcctricnlly illuminated show
windows, bright interior nud sparkling ISIectric Sign getting
mi mlvniitnge over you? The moth never flutters nrouiid the
unllghted caudlel Up-to-date stores nowadays consider
shop-window lighting n necessity, whether they remain open
nfter dnrk or not. Competition forces modem methods.
A show window brilliantly illuminated with Klcctric.
light will make many 11 sale "the night before." Klcctric
light compels attention, makes easy the examination of your
display, shows goods iu detail nud fabrics in their true colors.
And don't neglect the Klcctric Sign. It is soliciting
"tomorrow's" business every moment it is lighted burning
your name iu the public mind. It is n solicitor that never
becomes weary never stops work costs little.
