The west window of Ben Bears
clothing store has been the mecca Of
hundreds of onlookers during the
past few days. A lake has been
made in the window, surrounded on
all sides with a beautiful hill Of
green moss, with up-to-date roads
running over the summit on which
automobiles sound their 'honk,

rieties of fish swim about, while the
banks are lined with bathers ready
for plunge, 1t is one of the finest
windows this popular clothing stcre
has ever had. being the handiwork
