WINDOW DISPLAYS. Although it is yet four
weeks to Christmas the attractive window dis
plays are reminding people that the holiday
season is at hand, and that it is time for shop
pers to "get busy" One of the most unusual
and artistic displays is the 'brass window at
M. P. Woodcock & Sons, where is seen tempt
ing variety of hammered and FURNISHED brass,
! including the useful and the ornamental. Their
25 cent picture window is also tempting to
many H. J. Locke & Son, whose window is
! always attractive, have been displaying the
widely known Pickard hand painted china,
with fine selection of cut glass. The stock
in both lines is the largest and finest ever shown
in Belfast. The dry goods stores of James II.
Howes in Odd Fellows block and Fred A. john
son in Masonic Temple, make a speciality of
window displays at all seasons, but they are
made specially attractive during the holidays
! The grocers A. A. Howes & Co., Swift & Paul
and Written Brothers have had for the past
week tempting array of good things for the
Thanksgiving feast. Swift & Paul's cheese
window made such hit last week that by
Saturday night their stock was nearly de-
pleted. Don't forget to look in the shop Win
dows and take note beforehand of the adver-
tisements in The Journal.
