The well lighted store attracts trade. It is the aim of the merchant to locate his store as near the traffic center as possible, but poorly lighted store in the city s busy thor oughfare is, to say the least, poor economy, and shows lack of civic pride. The az gress1ye business man is making every ef- fort, both by day and night, to attract the eye to his windows and interest to his wares, through advertising of various kinds.
 The live merchant keeps his windows brilliantly lighted every night in the week because he knows that although his store may be closed, selections are made from the displayed stock and many times the SALE ismade before the customer enters the store.
 The electric sign is the greatest adver- tising adjunct to the business, because it flashes upon the mind in more definite way than any other, LOCATION and the LINE carried
 This company has emphasized this point and is ready to advise and cooperate with the merchants in the matter of light ar engagement and sign selection for effective night illumination and advertising purposes
