Keep Bright and You WILL KEEP BUSY Klectrlc Iight is the magnet that draws trade. The bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can no more resist the attraction of a brilliant, Klectrically lighted store than they can resist the clarion call of a brass baud. Is your competitor with the Klectrically illuminated show windows, bright interior and sparkling Klcctric Sign getting an advantage over you? The moth never flutters around the unlightcd caudle 1 Up-to-date stores nowadays consider shop-window lighting a necessity, whether they remain open after dark or not. Competition forces modern methods. A show window brilliantly illuminated with Klcctric light will make many a sale "the night before." Klcctric light compels attention, makes easy the examination of your display, sliows goods in detail and fabrics in their true colors. Aud 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 a solicitor that never becomes weary never stops work costs little.
