A COOL CUSTOMER
will buy more goods than a warm one will in hot weather.
A cool customer will buy with less palaver.
He or she will be better natured, less cranky and
easier to sell to; and you know it.
Moreover, you yourself, and your employes, will be
in a better selling mood if your store is cool and pleasant
than if it is sticky and suffocating and savors of a boiler
room in its stiflingness.
The Electric Fan is a blessing and a cheer which you
can ill afford to ignore.
Life in the dog days is a question of degrees.
Make your place of business habitable and inviting to
the people, and the trend of trade will be in your direction.
It stands to reason it's logical it's apparent.
Why not invest a little mony in trade-winning cool
ness? Electrie Fans will create a tempting and delightful
breeze, and in every breeze there'll be dollars for you.
