Army officers were guests of honor j
at a patriotic meeting and luncheon of

Rotarians and other visitors.
Lieutenant Colonel F. A. Grant, in
charge of the quartermasters depart

its citizens in the next two years. He
urged everyone to back the president,
the army and congress in the war for
democracy.
Major John Maher, disbursing offi
cer, paid tributes to the national army,
the buyers of Liberty bonds and the
patriots who for one reason or other
nave to stay at home, but who, he
said, are doing their bit as well as the
men in uniform to "show up the
kaiser."
He said Americans have no quarrel
with the German people themselves,
averring that the Teutons in the
trenches are glad that Sammies are
now in Europe and are slowly but
surely helping write the final chapter
in the kaiser business.
Captain Philip E. Cantlon was an
other army officer who spoke.

ily in Omaha, made a short talk along
patriotic lines. Mr. Mack, for four

Improve Your Lighting'
t
A storekeeper is known by the window that he keeps.
If this home-made commercial proverb is not true in all cases,' it
will be found entirely so in most. , , y
, , i Furthermore, no matter what excellence his goods thus displayed ,
: ma a large percentage of the
yame of such display is lost if the lighting arrangement is imperfect
During daylight a tremendous majority of passersby are too busy
to give but a fleeting glance at any window, while at night the people
are generally at leisure and pause, as a matter of diversion, to view
and consider whatever is unfolded behind the plate glass. If attracted,
a purchase may be reasonably expected next day. N
' - ,-'v ' ...
Hence the storekeeper should certainly welcome the best advice
obtainable m window lighting.
As a single feature of its announced campaign of extended and
gratuitous assistance to its patrons, your electric service company is
now able to offer such advice, furnished by two trained and recog
nized specialists in store and window lighting.
. The service of these two professionals is to beJiad for the asking
' and is pretty certain to be of pronounced benefit to . any merchant
who is showing his wares in the window. Our system of lighting, as
demonstrated by them, does not reveal the lighting source and thus
prove unpleasant or injurious to the eyes, but brings out the values
of the display to their best advantage.
Your Electric Service Company hopes that its merchant-customers
will call upon these specialists at will, as their, advice is fairly
certain to pave the way for elimination of waste and increase of sales.
Our new telephone number, by the way, is Tyler Three- One Hun
