~. NJ. CnTlStlanS WINDOWS snow
handsome display of attractive goods.
The east window is devoted to display
of cloaks, boas, etc, while the west
window is given bright effect by pie
lures, mirrors, and many other articles
both ornamental and useful.
Hall Bros. always have a unique dis
play at Christmas time, and this year
have the babes in the woods who are
lying asleep in the midst of a grove of
little evergreens. They are partly COW
cred up with leaves, and lie totally un-
conscious of the real doves walking
about them, the two silent searchers
who have just discovered, them or the
electric lights in the tree tops above.
Osburn & Sons make a rich looking
display of carpets and Bissell carpet
sweepers in their south window while
the north as usual is devoted to mems
furnishings of which they have hand
some display
Wicking & Storrer show some of their
latest patterns in suits in their north
window and an elegant and attractive
line of furnishings in the south win
dow.
Murray & Terbush have the most
window space to cover of any of the
city merchants and they have variety
this time as they usually do. The south
windows display underwear and fur
nishings. A line of hats artistically dis
played in circular hoops ornaments the
corner. The large front window shows
an elegant line of mems coats and fan
cy articles. The north window of the
clothing department is devoted to child
sens suits. A nice display of footwear
is arranged in the south window of the
shoe store while a diminutive Santa
Claus carrying all sorts of footwear and
riding donkey is seen in the north
window.
II. w. Mann has been showing a
catching line of ornamental goods and
late books with the added attraction of
a darkey ACCORDION player and colored
nanny" singing hymns while sitting
in the door of a wall-paper-roll log
house.
w. +. Collins & Co. show fine dis
play of pocket books, toilet articles and
perfumes.
Lyon & Ponds windows have a feath-
cry effect from a distance which is
seen on nearer approach to be made
up of many handkerchiefs of dainty
patterns draped about the windows and
giving their color and effect to all. A
fine display of their other goods is also
made in both windows.
L. o. Christian makes the usual at
tractive display of watches, jewelry and
some of Mrs. c. w. Loring's daintiest
hand painted China.
The Grove esener Shoe Co. show
some of their specialties and samples
from their standard goods in their white
show windows, the display being attrac-
tive enough to lead the passer to at least
glance down the length of the store if
he does not enter to buy, so white and
scrupulously clean does everything
seem to be. The fact is that the white
effect of this shoe store is a constant
source of wonder to all visitors.
Sprague & Co. make q neat display
of fancy and useful leather goods and
numerous other articles suitable for
presents in their window.
G. S. Allison & Son have proven them
selves capable of keeping an unusually
attractive display in their show window
and the present is no exception though
as in many other cases they have so
much to do in waiting on customers
that there is little time for arranging
new window displays.
