Potter. o Iionnvlllo'e Monthly for salo at tnls office. If you think the St. Johns stores never arc crowd ed, drop in at Bonham & Currier's On Saturday afternoon nt 3 o'clock. Every per son there will have n bunch of red tickets. Each ticket represents n previous purchase. On it is stamped the time of dny. The person holding the ticket having on it the nearest the time our clock stops gets $5-00. You will see that some persons have 50 or 60 tickets; some more. Each of these means a dollar sale. Count the people, find out the number of tickets each tins and you will find out about what our sales run. 1908 wns something of a panic year, but our sales were $15,000 more than 1907; nnd the sec ond week of this month our sales were 377 lllorc than the second week of 190S. BONHAM & CURRIER Keep Bright and You WILL KEEP BUSY Klcctric Light is the mnguct that drnws trade. The bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People enn no more resist the nttrnctiott ol a brilliant, Klcctrically lighted store than they can resist the clarion call of n brass bund. Is your competitor with thcKlcctrically illuminated show windows, bright interior nnd sparkling Klcctric Sign getting nu advantage over you ? The moth never Mutters nround the uulightcd caudle I Up-to-date stores nowaday consider shop-window lighting n necessity, whether they remain opun after dark or not. Competition forces modem methods. A show window brilliantly illuminated with Klcctric light will make many n sale "the night before." Klcctric light compels attention, makes eisy the examination of your display, shows goods in detail and fabrics in thuir true colors. Aud don't neglect the Klcctric Sign. It is soliciting "tomorrow's" business every moment it is lighted burning your mime in the public mind. It is n solicitor that never becomes weary never stops work costs little.
