Brief ciimpses of splendor Caught in
Passing Display Windows.
The Christmas window displays in
Roswell stores have been SO many
and all so good that we have not the
space o detailed description of
them, but The Record will say that
viewed collectively no better taste
and artistic arrangement of goods. in
windows was ever presented
in town of the size anywhere.
This has been a great year for Civ
ing books as Christmas presents. IN
gerso1fs book store has sold humid
reds of gift books. But there were half
a dozen or more of stocks in other
stores, and all have sold much of
their stock. Payton's drug store had
a very fine stock. Geo. w. link has
taken advantage of the holiday sea-
sol to close out his books. The Pecos
Valley Drug Co. did a fine business
in this line. Daniel & Daniel dispos-
ed of books as well as toys, and
some of the dry goods stores had ma
ny attractive volumes to offer.
For simple tastiness without os-
thing imaginable into one window
display. Morrison Bros. have long
held a reputation, and their Christ
mas effort was another triumph.
One would hardly expect to find
= butcher shop. But the U. S. Mar
ket has since the holiday season be
gan from day to day presented as
neat and fascinating an exhibit of
it's goods as those who deal in the
dainty fabrics used to adorn feminine
loneliness. This market believes in
advertising, and we are informed that
they have had an especially good
trade on those sweet mangoes and
on prepared mince meat, which has
been advertised in local notices.
After having the north window cur
tain closed for a few days, Joyce,
Pruit & Co. have exposed an elabo-
rate Christmas design with g%arlands
of holly, and festoons of greenery
entwining columns that support a
large bell. Dress goods are Incidental
ly exhibited. This firm has also a
window showing clothing and mems
furnishing goods, and another dis
playing the good things to eat in the
grocery department.
Park & Morrison, the jewelers.,
have made their whole store a dis
play of iridescent cut glass, glitter
ing gold, shining silver and sparkling
Jewels. "Our display is inside has
the Christmas invitation.
Price IL Co. had to hustle to get
their new store in shape for the hol
iday trade-and it is not yet com
pleted, but having about the finest
windows for the purpose they have
not failed to make their exhibit an
allurenent that draws hundreds of
people inside to select Christmas
S4fCS from the cOrnuCOpla Oh luxury
and magnificent variety.
Jaffa, Prayer & Co. with five store
rooms full of goods and an army of
efficient clerks have naturally cut a
large figure in the holiday rush, Their
dry goods and clothing department
has presented a busy scene, and with
one room devoted to "Toyland' they
greatly assisted Santa Claus
in the p~erplexity of selecting things
to please children of all ages.
The New York store has enjoyed
great . Christmas trade, and will
enter upon the new year better pre-
pared than ever to satisfy every
need, crafty the most particular fan
", and save money to its patrons.
