Funny thing happened to me when
I was working for Blankety Blank x
Co. I'm Chicago" said New Orleans
window dresser II had big window
on Clark street that seemed az Ii II
was hoodooed. No matter what | put
there ii appeared to be impossible to
attract any attention, and the manag-
err. who was keen as hawk, began
to grumble because he never saw any
body looking in. l used to lay awake
nights racking my brains for new
schemes. but it was no go. One day
when | was feeling pretty blue, | told
our negro porter to clear everything
out preparatory to making a big dis
play of special line of shirts.
"He was fat. black trifling fellow
and | guess he must have been out al
a cakewalk the night before, for ne fell
fast asleep in chair in the middle OF
the window. | was on the point oil
waking him up and giving him fits
when / happened to notice how ex.
tremely ludicrous he looked. His head
was on one side, his enormous mouth
wide open, and his limbs relaxed In
the oldest postures imaginable; in
short. he was a perfect picture OF a
law rascal In happy slumber That
gave me an idea. ! didn't say word
but grabbing a piece OF pasteboard
dashed off a sign: Dreaming of Our
Dollar Shirts and stood 1t quietly
against his knees.
"Then / gently rolled up the curtain
and awaited developments. Well. the
hit that window made Is the pet tradi
ton of the store to this day. People
simply blockaded the sidewalk, and
you could hear them laughing block
away. The funniest part about 1t was
that nobody supposed for a moment II
could possibly be the real thing. They
thought it was a clever piece of acting
or else a wonderful wax figure. That
