BEAUTIFUL ART DISPLAY
IN The Gas cos. WINDOW

Appreciation Of art possessed by
those who direct the office affairs of
the Wilmington Gas Company has
often led them to show this apprecia-
tion in a practical way by displaying
art, in various phases, in the window
in front Of the offices, at No. S27 Mar
ket street. Just now such display Is
being made to continue for a week.
It IS based upon a painting OF lnez
, Niilholland leading the woman's suf-
frage demonstration at Washington in
1913. The painting is by p. V. L.
Ivory.
The display has been very cleverly
arranged by the Gas Company
window trimmer, William A. Conaway
Red plush flooring and curtains ar'
used for background. The painting
is in the center OF the window. A
either side Of It is a table, cOverc'
with an American flag. On each tabl'
stands an attractive modern gas tabl'
lamp with shade. AT the foot of eacl
table stands a bracket containing q
poster showing a reproduction OF the
painting and on the floor are scatter
ed a number OF small stickers, also
containing reproductiOncs OF the
painting. The reproductions and
printing for the poster and stickers
were done by the printing depart
ment OF the Star Publishing Com

and the general appearance of the re-
productions are almost exactly like
the original and that for the uses TO
which these reproductions are put, the
colors I'm the poster and stckers are
