Merry Christmas. A purple Towering
vine across the back side of the room
completes picture that must be seen to
be appreciated.
W. F. Brioker has the east window OF
his store filled with brand new holiday
goods such as toys. books, dolls, dishes.
etc. neatly arranged on an elevated stairs
in manner calculated TO show them off
to good advantage before the eyes Of the
CROWD Of Christmas shoppers passing by.
The west window. however, assumes
more Of the holiday look it being trimmed
with various oolored tissues and display
ing shirt waists. laces. fans shirt waist
sets and other lingerie so dear to the heart
Of the average member of the gentler sex.
Geo. w Thomas window is a beauti-
full one. A snow white back ground with
delicate vine of green leaves with red
berries embellishes a superb assortment
of gold and silverware, watches. clocks
umbrellas, hand glasses. etc. The win
dow. which is product Of Mr.. z. D..
DOVE, Of lonia, receives many compli-
ments from those who pause to look at IT..
Peck's shoe store, as usual on holiday
occasions. has a lastly arranged pair of
windows, blue and white tissue forming
handsome back ground for the snow
white field in which are shown some of
the most up-to-date conceptions Of the
shoemakers art. The windows are the
work of Will Peck whose taste along that
line always meets the hearty approval of
the public
At o. j. Kuhns hardware store Cecil
Dunlap is showing in a large archway,
the triumphal entry Of the Laurel range
into the public gaze, White and holly
help to show up the window to good ad-
vantage. In the window adjoining is dis
played one Of the incest cutters ever
shown in this city, but bare ground seems
at this time to detract from its attention.
The jewelry store Of A B Hull so far
as interior decorations are concerned, is a
veritable holiday bower, being trimmed
from front to back with tissue ribbons Of
various colors, bells, etc. Black velvet
steps show off fine assortment of gold
and silver Injuries that catch the eye Of
all who GO that way. A large mirror re-
fleets the display back again, while gold
en- candle sticks and clocks of gold make
the display handsome one
Wortley & French have their large dis
play window banked IN white and deli
cate vine of red and green encircling the
same adds beauty to the scene. Red
and green tissue ornaments skirt the
edges of the window and a very hand
some display of dainty perfumes both in
beautiful bottles and rare cases makes a
very attractive display. The inner por-
ton of the store is also nicely decorated
for the festive occasion.
F, D. Lincoln has the two large wind
ows OF the west half of his store very at
tractvely trimmed as well as the interior
thereof. The skillful hand of Harry Wi
ley is easily seen in the decorations, One
OF the windows shows a white background
in front of which is seen a lastly arranged
attice work of whits red and green while
handkerchefs, laces, parasols and other
things along that line catch the eye Of the
passerby. The other window shows a
superb line Of table linens lastly arrang-
ed and quite suggestive from Christina 5
standpoint.
w. |. Benedict, while making no spec
ial decorations, has his large store win
dows full of books, toys, dolls, vases, etc i,
any ana and all Of which are certain TO
please the one fortunate enough to re-
ceive them, as there are gifts for both
young and old.
Cornell Bros. have also made no spec
ial decoration but the display Of books,
games and other articles exhibited would
have the selection of desirable gift for
the young, a much easier proposition
than it would be were no exhibition at
tempted.
