How modern lighting can help your business


If you have a store, modern lighting will add eye appeal - and buy appeal - to your merchandise. Better light gives a better look to shelves, counters, display cases.


If you have an office or factory, up-to-date lighting can help you, too. It boosts output and efficiency - cuts fatigue and rejects - promotes clean- liness and morale.


Whatever your business, modern lighting can help it! Talk to your electrical contractor today. Or call STuart 1-0100 for more facts.
