An Electric Sign
Capitalizes Dark Hours
Mr. Merchant, walk down the street during the
late afternoon or evening hours. What stores at
tract your attention?? the attention of other pedes
trians? Naturally, the BRIGHT shops. You scarce
ly know the dark stores are on the street? your eye
travels past them to stop where light unconsciously
holds your gaze.
There's a lesson for you in this little walk, Mr. Merchant.
It's the "sign-title" lesson of illuminated advertising. It's the
story of success ? the story of merchants whose stores are bright
during the day, but brighter at night.
That 4?-rk store of yours, Mr. Merchant, can be made as
attractive ai night as any other store on the street, without
spending a lot of money. An Electric Sign will help turn the
trick. Semi-indirect interior fixtures and a system of concealed
window lighting will complete the program. Telephone SOT
to-day and our lighting expert will explain.
