BON HAM & CURRIER Keep Bright and You WILL KEEP BUSY Klectric Unlit is the mnBiiet that draws trade. The bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People enn 110 more resist the attraction of n brilliant, Klectricnlly lighted store than they can resist the clarion call of a brass band. Is your competitor with the Klectricnlly illuminated hhow windows, bright interior nnd sparkling Klectric Sign getting nu ndvnntage over you ? The moth never Mutters around the tinlighted candle! Up-to-date stores nowadays consider shop-window lighting a necessity, whether they remain open nfter dnrk or not. Competition forces modern methods. A show window brilliantly ilhuninnted with Klectric light will make many a sale "the night before." Klectric light compels attention, makes easy the examination of your display, shows goods in detail and fabrics in their true colors. And don't neglect the Klectric 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.
