Shades and globes. . Decorative and Useful Illumination This picture illustrates one of the most beautiful andotherwise satisfactory methods of lighting — semi - indirectillumination with Alba Bowls.

The resulting illumination is soft, even and agreeable to theeyes with just enough shadow to aid in distinguishing objectsreadily. Illumination of this sort shows the furniture and furnishingsof the room to full advantage and is in itself extremely beautifulwithout being obtrusive. Handsome at all times—by dayor night. The Alba Bowl illustrated on this page is shown completewith fixture on page 30 and without fixture on page 31. 103 MACBETH-EVANS GLASS C O M P A N V P I T T S B U K G H. Alba Pendent Spheres for Store Illumination Where the illumination is agreeable people feel muchmore at home. They stay longer; see better; do their work morethoroughly; buy more; and are better satisfied. The best means that we know for general store illuminationare Tungsten lamps enclosed in Alba Pendent Spheres, orAlba Ornamental Balls, illustrated on pages 28 and 29 of thisbook. See also Alba Ornamental Ball, pages 24 to 27. These Alba units give an ample amount of soft, agreeablelight, without the sharp shadows that result from the usualindoor arc light. They are very easy to keep clean and take care of and thereis no delay arising from the renewal of lamps. On the whole by far the most satisfactory method of storelighting.
