In stressing the importance II
good likht In merchandising, 1t
has been pointed out that 81 per-
cent Of all impressions we receive
are received through the eyesight
OF the five senses, sight plays the
most important part In making
sales. You need good light so that
your customers may see what they
want. Good lighting Is the surest
aid to seeing and selling-therefore
essential TO your store.
Customers instinctively shun
gloom and seek brightness. They
prefer to buy in bright, cheerful
stores where shopping is easier,
pleasanter and more convenient.
In well Lighted stores customers see
easily and quickly the variety and
true value OF the merchandise Of
fered. That's why the better light
ed stores are busy stores-and do
better business.
Turn a critical eye on your store.
Does 1t attract and invite? Does
1t display your merchandise to best
advantage? Is IL free from glare
and disturbing shadows? Is your
lighting efficient and evenly dis
til Cted?
II you can't answer all Of these
questions, ask the Hargis Electric
Shop TO make a thorough survey.

Among the lighting systems
handled by Hargis Is the Bet-R-

Bet-R-Lite helps sales by making
ordinary merchandise more attrac-
tive and allowing unusual merchan-
disc to be appraised at its real
worth. 1t speeds-up selling by en-
abling customers TO see what they

facilities for one family combined
with adequate light and ventilat Oh.
such facilities should include ltv-

In planning tie house proper,
the home builder should 90 deeply
into his general requirements for
living, having determined the size
Of the house which Is within his
means. The first question Is the
rumber and kind OF rooms. The
requirements for bedrooms are gen.
orally fixed as are the requirements
for a kitchen. living room. and al

sential rooms in a home.
