department store veritable daily bargain counter,
policy that has sidestepped special sales to large

term the daylight store having 40 feet of plate
glass 'front.' which is used for displaying the goods of
the various departments and the windows of which
are the attraction and admiration of only citi
zens of Warren but of the surrounding country owing
to the artistic manner in which the window dressers
make their displays. It seems to be motto of the
store that goods well displayed half sold and this
certainly is true of the Peoples Trading Co.'S. daily
window displays. To voice the real activity of this
busy trading emporium, it is only necessary to state
that there seventeen people employed in the vari

in showing the stocks of their various departments
