Just a Little Talk to the
Merchant, But the Pub
lie May Read 1t and
Think 1t Over.

Just a little talk to the merchant The
person whom you desire to reach is the man or
woman outside the store. You want them in
side where your statesmen may talk to them.
How can you attract their attention? The cleo
tric sign will do it. Light attracts people If
you have a pretty electric sign it becomes
fixed in the minds of the people. They regard
you as progressive merchant Why?
The answer is easy; You are doing sew
eral things. You are calling attention to your
own business. You are assisting the city in
lighting the street and making the city beauti-
ful. You are pleasing the eye at the same
time. And when the public comes to deal
where does it deal? 1t is in the store which is
brilliantly lighted inside and out Electricity
is the illuminant which will do the work. The
up-to-date, pretty, effective and safe lighting
is electricity.
But the cost? The average sign brill
lanty lighted with four candle-power tungsten
lamps, can be run whole evening for thirty
cents. That is considerably below the price of
the service in other cities. Come in and talk
to us We want to tell you about this sign busi-
ness right now, If you can't come in, send for
us and we will call and see you.
