WINDOW DISPLAY
OF FALL GOODS
MERCHANTS OPEN SEASON
TUESDAY NIGHT WITH
SHOW

Wednesday evening was the OPEN
ing night of the fall season for the
members of the Wausau Advertising
club. All through the forepart of the
week the various store windows were
obscured from view and many necks
were craned in an endeavor to get
peek behind the scenes. Wednes-
day evening, at seven o'clock was the
zero hour and the windows of the
many business places were found to
be filled with things of wondrous
beauty.
Beginning from the ground UP were
the various shoe stores, with all of
the latest foot wear displayed with
the finest of taste. The G. B. Mayer,
Porath and Schlaefer, Tress and Oh
denburg, Silberstein, and the Berg and
Sabatke stores had wonderful line
up. These stores were literally full
Of shoes. There were oxfords of the
latest design, dress shoes that were
fit for king to wear, shoes to stand
service and storm for the workman,
and the high top shoe which the hunt
er knows and swears by.
In mems furnishings, the Continen-
tai had very pleasing display of
mems suits, shirts, gloves, caps, hats,
canes, sox, and in fact, everything that
the most exacting could desire. The
stores of Gamble and Kane, Helling's
Toplon's Coel and Anderes, Star
Clothiers, and the many others were
also at their BEST. All were decorat-
ed with autumn leaves, and with the
dull finish of the clothing, the leaves
created an attractive background
The ladies' apparel was not out
done however, as many of the windows
showed The Smart company had
fine display of ladies' gloves, vanity
cases, hair combs and many other of
those small articles which Milady con-
siders indispensable now days, but in
the other window the little ones held
full control. There was the never
failing talcum powder, which baby
must have to soothe the velvet like
skin when the clothing chafes, and the
fieecy little shirts to keep away any
stray breeze or draught which might
chill the youngster. Then there were
playthings in the line of rattles, balls
and other things which baby must
have to cheer him when deserted"
which they like to escape, but cannot,
in the form of medicated soaps and
wash cloths and shoes.
The Smart Hat shop had a very
homelike display. A wax model,
dressed in blue silk, was seated in
a chair, with beautiful fur cloak
thrown carelessly over the back of
chair beside it. The windows of the
United Cloak and Suit company, the.
Geo. Turner, Fair, Secors' and Win
kelman's stores were also tastily dec
GRATED and it was an interested
throng that visited them Tuesday. The
G. f. Dunbar, Otto Mueller and Wilke
Brothers jewelry stores were there
to put on the finishing touch to the
well dressed and gems of great beau
ty and value were on display in the
form of pins, brooches, clasps, rings,
and the many other ways in which
precious stone may be made into a
thing of beauty.
The Walter A. Mueller delicatessen
store window created an appetite in
itself. There were sherry jell, ripe
olives, mint sauce, figs, tuna fish, and
in fact, anything a hungry person
could ask for. A large basket of sugar
cured figs set off the window, and one
leaves it with a feeling of regret,
mingled with a feeling that you must
go home with all possible haste to
get something to eat.
Then, the last thing a person thinks
of-home and bed. The Victrola in the
window of the Wright Music company
suggested a few selections before re-
tiring, and the artists pictured there
in were at your services at all times
on the Victor machine. Then when
you had tired of music, and your
tired eye-lids refused to stay open a
minute longer, the bed room which
the Radandt company had on display
was very refreshing. The bed room
suite was of dark walnut, trimmed
with birds eye maple. A table lamp
was ready to light you to your bed,
and carpet to keep the shill of the
cold floor from your feet. The din
ing room in the adjoining window was
also very beautiful. The room was
trimmed in blue, and the walnut fur
niture, in period designs, was uphol-
stored in blue. A large brass floor
candle stick gave 1t very home like
touch, and the fruit on the dining
room table looked very tempting. The
Ritter and Deutsch company window
was very prettily decorated, and many
articles Of furniture were on display,
as well as carpets and other house
hold necessities.
Altogether, the opening was a sue
cess and one hears many remarks on
the streets as to the beautiful win
dows. If there is not a great deal of
buying because of IL, II will be be-
cause of a shortage Of money and
nothing else.
Thursday evening at about seven
