Seo Wolcott, "Tho Rent Man." Would you have your home lighted equally as brilliant as gas or clcctricty would light it at a cost that is merely nothing? We have the St, Johns agency for the Incandescent Kerosene burner, a new invention, the benefits of which any one may have. The light is given by carbon aud mantle through the new patent burner. We will have a number of them lighted in our store on Saturday night.' EON HAM & CURRIER Keep Bright and You WILL KEEP BUSY Klcctric jMrIiI is the tungtict tlmt draws trndc. The bright store is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People enn no more resist the nttrnctiou of a brilliant, Klcctricnlly lighted store than they cnu resist the clnrion call of n brass band. Is your competitor with the Klcctricnlly illttmiuntcd show windows, bright interior and sparkling Klcctric Sign getting an advantage over you? The moth never flutters nrottud the ttulighted cnudlcl Up-to-dntc stores nowadnys consider shop-window lighting a necessity, whether they remain open nftcr dark or not. Competition forces modern methods. A show window brilliantly illuiuinnted with Klcctric light will make many n sale "the night before." Klcctric light compels attention, makes easy the examination of your display, shows goods in detail nnd fnbrlcs in their true colors. And 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 n solicitor tlmt never becomes weary never stops work costs little.
