BRIGHT LIGHTS IN THE

NEW YORK
Experiments in Different Intensities of Light Made
by Department Store Enlightening.
The exhibition period of the piano store window
continues long after the hour of closing the store.
When proprietor and salesmen have departed the
piano or player keeps up the post for impressing the
wayfarers. In producing the quality of attractive-
ness by night, the clement of illumination has a lot
to do, so the facts learned by a searcher after causes
should be full of suggestion for the piano dealer.
A department store in Cleveland recently made a
series of experiments to determine the most effective
lighting system for its large street level show
windows.
Each window had the same number of light out-
lets, and the test was carefully planned to equalize
all factors in drawing power except that of illumina-
tion.
Different intensities of light were used for
equal periods, and the number of persons who
stopped to look in the windows during each period
was counted.
It was discovered that an increase of light costing
only 12 cents an hour had added to the attractiveness
of each window 42 per cent. The sales vakie of the
increase, measured in the number of prospective cus-
tomers drawn to the windows, was estimated to be
$18 an hour.
