HOW TO CLEAR WINDOW PANES
Electric Fan Keeps the Frost From Ac-

Electric Fan Keeps the Frost From Ac-
cumulsting on the Glass
1t is enough to give one chilly shiy-
ers up and down his spinal column
and back again 10 see an electric fan
in the window OF a store on Euclid
avenue, whirling away as though the
thermometer indicated a degree OF
heat approaching that of Kentucky
politics. The fan is in the big window
Of the store and it is kept there all
were summer. 1t is an ordinary fan
and there Is nothing about it to attract
attention save the fact that it is going
and that 1t is pointed toward the plate
glass window-that is, it blows the
air against the inside Of the glass. The
fan in the dead of winter is the solu-
ton of one of the problems that has
bothered storekeepers for years, ever
since there were stores and winters
probably. There have been inventions
without number to solve the problem
on the inside of show windows and
obscuring them so that the things in
the windows cannot be seen from the
street. There have been innumerable
inventions to keep the windows clear
in cold weather, and some of the ex-
pensive one are fairly successful. This
merchant has found the easiest and
cheapest. He puts an electric fan in
