BONHAM & CURRIER Keep Bright and You WILL KEEP BUSY Klcctric Light is the magnet that draws trndc. The bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can uo more resist the nttraction ol n brilliant, Klcctrlcally lighted store than they can resist the clarion call of n brass band. Is your competitor with the Klectrically illuminated show windows, bright interior aud sparkling Klcctric Sign getting nu advantage over you ? The moth never flutters nround the unlightcd cnudlcl Up-to-date stores nowadays consider shop-window lighting n necessity, whether they remain open nftcr dark or not. Competition forces piodern 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 in detail uud 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 in the public mind. It is n solicitor that never becomes weary never stops work costs little.

Kvcrybody should learn the fascinating nrt of roller skat ing now while it is 111 its infancy. This is demonstrated by the fact that thousands of targe and costly rinks nre being erected at the present time throughout the United States, Can mln, South America and Kuropc. Large factories nre being constructed to meet the ever increasing demand for roller skates. In South America alone they are several months be hind on orders. It is n pleasure to note that President-elect Toft is an enthusiastic skitter and heartily endorses roller sknt iug as the best form of amusement and exercise for the public in general. The Dreamland is going to make social inducements to nil beginners, especially the ladies. Note Thursday night the "Sans Souci Skating Club" has the exclusive use of the rink.
