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.
