Long after the Windowl 0{sblay Con-
test is a thing of the past Honolulu
will talk of the wonderful exhibit Of
silver shown by H.. F. EWichman &
Company. the familiar istore which
has been one of the p4ce-setters In
Honolulu's business progress. For It
is the sort of exhibit that strikes the
eye and appeals to the purse as an in
yestment of both money and good
taste. In one of the several carefully.
planned windows of TINS Fort street
establishment is this glittering display
Of the noted "FairfaxH pattern. It

Every piece of silver that is made

magic chest here shown. with its
wealth of detail complete.

novelty window. The scheme of gray
setting is further carried out here.
The novelties are of all sorts, for mas

needed note Of color is given by
beautiful flowers In richly-made |

In this window the novelties are
with unusual felicity. The dis
