Who have established, well advertised lines of goods to offer always seek for their representative of their goods the best store in the community. When wc say best, we mean those firms who endeavor always to treat their trade right and keep up their stocks to the demands. "A Word to the Wise, etc." Just Consider That Statement And remember thnt we nrc AGENTS IfOR The Wonder Hose Headlight Overalls John Strootman Shoes for Ladies Star Brand shoes for every one Butterick Patterns And in our Grocery Department wc especially represent Durkcc's Spices, the Century Patent Elottr, (hard wheat) and many other grocery products which salesmen tell its they offer only at our store BON HAM & CURRIER Keep Bright and You WILL KEEP BUSY Electric Light is the magnet that draws trade. The bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can no morclc-isl the attraction of n brilliant, Electrically lighted store than they can resist the clarion call of a brass band. Is your competitor with the Electrically illuminated show windows, bright interior and sparkling Electric Sign getting an advantage over you ? The moth never flutters nroiind lite unlighted candle! Up-to-date stores nowadays consider shop-window lighting n necessity, whether they remain open after dark or not. Competition forces modern methods. A show window brilliantly illuminated with Electric light will make many a sale "the night before." Electric light conicls attention, makes easy the c.xntnlunliou of your display, shows goods in detail and fabrics in their true colors. And don't neglect the Electric 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.
