“Y es, Madam, this fabric shows identically the
same details and color as would he shown in broad day
light. Y ou see I’m displaying the goods under the clear
white rays of this wonderful new General Electric Mazda
Lamp. It’s really the equivalent of daylight, and that’s
why ail up-to-date stores are using it. O f course there
are also other vital reasons, one of which is this: the G -E
Mazda Lamp gives t w ic e the light of*the ordinary car
bon incandescent lamp—and c o s ts le s s to burn.”
T he invention of the Mazda Lamp has caused thous
ands of people to have their houses and stores wired for
electric light. If you are n o t now using it, come in
for a moment to-day and let us p ro v e to y o u r entire
satisfaction that this wonderful new lamp has made
electric light as cheap as it is convenient
