Long after the Window display Con-
test is a thing Of the past, Honolulu
will talk of the wonderful exhibit of
silver shown by H. F. Wichman &
Company, the familiar store which
has been one of the pace-setters In
Honolulu's business progress. For 1t
is, the sort of exhibit that strikes the
eye and appeals to the purse as an in
vestment of both money and good
taste. In one Of the several carefully.
planned windows ot1fEis Fort street
establishment is this glittering display
of the noted Fairfax pattern. It
scintillates with CLEAN that is catch
ing hundreds OF eyes.
Every piece of silver that is made
for the table is represented in this
collection-there is q liberal education

spoons, of course; and then bewilder-

magic chest here shown, with its
wealth of detail complete.
The second window Is the suggestive
novelty window. The scheme of gray
setting is further carried out here
The novelties are of all sorts. for mas
culine and feminine possession. The
needed note of color is given by
beautiful flowers in a richly-made
hanging-bask of silver.
In this window the novelties are
grouped with unusual felicity. The dis
play is not overdone and yet the sug-
gestion of richness is unmistakable.
The combination of the artistic and
the commercial is happy one. There

the entire display of this company,
