THE SHOP WINDOW SHOW
Following the Crowd and Looking in al
the Window Displays

windows are not ali children, as you
will note if you are of an observing
turn. Just about as many grownups
will gather around shop window at
this season of the year as children
Shop window advertising has gotten to
be most effective, and window dressing
a fine art. Taking look at the differ
ent windows, starting in at the postoftice
corner, yesterday afternoon, a group OF
little folks gathered about Koerner' S
shop windows, where most elaborate
effort has been made to attract atten-
ton, not without result. Here wares
for the little folks are largely in evi-
dence, tho something for Ma and Pa"
has not been Gzerlooked.
The windows of the Mutual Mercan-
tile company present an altogether
different display. Here it is something
to wear and tempt the palate, and the
good housewife and the staid father who
pays the bills find more to interest
them.
Franks Market. Now who would
think place where fresh and cured
meats are vended anything could be
found to make window display of, but
Martin Christensen, the manager, has
a dressed roasting size pig displayed in
way to attract attention. Thanking
it are two mutton carcasses. With a
few leaves to vary the color and some
other articles temptingly displayed he
makes quite show.
Roach Brothers make display Of
shoes for winter wear as we'll as rubber
footwear, and a most attractive and ap-
propriate display has Charlie made. He
has displayed his wares in a way to
cause those who may have had the pur-
chase of footwear in mind to investi-
gate.
A jeweler can make his show window
a delight to the beholer and Carlquist
has made the most of his opportunities.
Very few go by his window without
stopping at least moment to look at
the bright, rich and sparkling display
of jewelry, silverware. cut glass and
gems. While both young and old stop
to gaze, young ladies and gentlemen
look with deep and discriminating in
terest.
In the window of the Leavenworth
Cleaning and Dye Works are displayed
handsome gowns, laces and wearing
apparel with sprigs of holly, the bright
green of which, with its scarlet berries,
all helps to catch the eye of the passer
by, and if it happens to be woman.
cause her to stop moment as If a
thought had just occurred to her.
The City Drug Store window is not
behind in presenting a handsomely
dressed show window, full of such holi-
day goods as are usually carried by
druggists at this time of year and never
fails to catch the observing eye Of holi-
day shoppers looking for something and
vet not knowing exactly what.
Around the handsome windows OF E.
P. Sharman you will see, if you stop
long enough to note the fact, a half
dozen young men inspecting and COM
menting no the display of wearing ap-
parel for men. Mr.. Sharman has a
tastily arranged and very attractive
window display. Women, too, stop to
see if they can find a necktie, hand
some pair of suspenders or silk hose
that will match their husbands eyes or
hair.
The Palace of Sweets is pioneer in
the line of goods for the little folk at
Christmas time. The child that would
pass Mr.. Hathaway's place without
stopping to admire the many things
his show windows contain, any one OF
which would make the child-heart leap
