of this window 46%!
A millinery shop made a test on the
effectiveness of improved show window
lighting. By using colored lighting for
general illumination and white spotlights
on the merchandise, the attracting power
of the window was increased 46%. A simi-
lar test in a shoe store produced even
more startling results. By doubling the
general illumination and using a spot-
light in the center of the window, the
attracting power was increased 81 % and
the featured shoes were quickly sold out.
* * * Perhaps better lighting can increase
the effectiveness of YOUR windows.
Detroit Edison engineers will gladly
help you find out. They will make a
lighting survey without charge and offer
helpful suggestions where needed. Call
your Detroit Edison office. The Detroit
Edison Company.
