Shop Window Combinations

From the New York Times.
All uD and down the busiest streets of
New York are shop windows that look like
miniature industrial exhibitions so MANY
are the trades represented there This does
not mean that the proprietor of the shop is
syndicate of business enterprises, all of
which are advertised in that one window
1t simply means that other tradesmen have
rented space in his window and are dis
playing their goods there. The combina-
tons thus effected are often novel even
ludicrous. Jewelry of an inferior grade
wrinkles at the feet of ready made "pants''
in tailors windows; lengths of accordion
plated silk dangie above rows of heavy
soled shoes. while in one Columbus avenue
shop bird cages and dressmakers' supplies
divide the honors pretty evenly. The de-
mand FOR window space exceeds the sup
ply. Many tradesmen whose shops are sit
uated on side streets where the passers-
by are comparatively few wish to display
their wares in more conspicuous places, but
shopkeeperS with more desirable windows
often complain that they find it an intol-
cradle nuisance to be interrupted in the
middle or their own sales to give informa-
ton in regard to goods sold elsewhere Gus

little temper when, after getting all work.
