Radio Telegraph' company, operating
a- number of stations in California
and Arizona, claims to have -caught
wtfreless messages from distant sta
tions with the wires stretcHed on the

He says thatyjthe transmission ot

made possible b^a ngw device which

Inspector Wolverton has tested the
appliance in California and Arizona
during the dry season and expresses
the belief that it will be equally as
efficient in sending and 'receiving

The After-Hours
Salesman
MANY concerns lose money every night by not attract
ing the attention of the crowds on the street* in the
evening. On the other hand, many other concerns pros
per because they employ the after-hours salesman—Elec
. trie Light. You can readily pick out these stores on the
busiest .thoroughfares—their show windows pouring a
• brilliant flood of light upward, outward and. downward,
thereby adding an attraction to the goods displayed not
obtainable in any other way. Few people can resist a
glance at-the beautiful effect—most people stop: and ad
mire it. The proprietors of these shops are wtU versed
in all modern methods which make for success in devel
oping trade They know that the laVish use of electric
light- pays, and use Edison Mazda Lamps to obtain it at
a minimum cost.
