Campbell, Phono Richmond 1211. 3 OVftSmaKKSfKl MANUFACTURERS 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 we say best, we mean those firms who endeavor nlwnys 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 that we nrc AGENTS FOR The Wonder Hose Headlight Overalls John Strootman Shoes for Ladies Star Brand shoes for every one Butterick Patterns And in our Grocery Department we especially represent Durkce's Spices, the Century Patent l-'iour, (hard wheat) nnd many other grocery products which salesmen tell us they offer only at our store BON HAM & CURRIER Keep Bright and You WILL KEEP BUSY Klcctrie Light is the magnet that draws trade. The bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can no more resist the attraction of n brilliant, Klcctricnlly lighted store than they can resist the clarion call of n brass band. Is your competitor with the Klcctricnlly illuminated show windows, bright interior and sparkling Klcctrie Sign getting nn advantage over you? The moth never flutters around the uulightcd caudlcl 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 Klcctrie light will make many n sale "the night before." Klcctrie light compels nttcutiou, makes easy the examination of your display, shows goods in detail and fabrics in their true colors. And don't neglect the Klcctrie 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.
