Can I sell you à Neon Sign? What are its advantages?
Well, a neon sign costs nothing because it consumes 1/5th to 1/8th the usual amount of electricity. This saving effected during a cer- tain period of time pays for its initial cost of installation and, just think of the advertising value you are getting all that time and all for nothing!
Alright, go ahead and make me a sketch and furnish estimate.
