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.
