The Humphrey Light
Makes It Easy
It's the Best Light
That's just about the whole idea of Modern Merchandis
ing, isn't it? - .
People buy where they receive tho greatest courtesy, he
most consideration for their comfort and convenience, where
goods are displayed the. best. Value for value, the trade goes .
to the merchant who makes it easiest for the public to buy.
Now all the bowing and scraping in the world, all the
smiling and politeness, all the newspaper advertising and the
careful display of goods in windows and upon your shelves
and counters and the best bargains in the city will avail you
nothing if it's hard to buy in comfort in your stores because
you dwell in darkness.
FINISH the job up right. Make it easy for the people to
trade with you by giving them a lighting system that will en
able them to shop in your store in real comfort and as intelli
gent people with money to spend, LIKE TO SHOP.
Install the HUMPHREY SYSTEM of INVERTED OAS
ARC LAMPS now. It's the only system of store lighting that's
ever been devised that really fits the needs of a modern mer
chant. It's the brightest light but it's the KINDEST light to goods and your custom
er's eyes as well, and it shows the most delicate shades in their natural colors.
And the cost? Less than your present inadequate system costs. It will cut your
lighting 1411s making a material saving within the year. Gome in now and ask us
about it.
