HARRIS GROCERY COMPANY
HAS ATTRACTIVE WINDOW

Numbers of tots, looking to Eas-
ter for the joys of the season,
stop before the pretty window
of the Harris Grocery Company
yesterday, admiring in enthusiast
tic manner the big yellow mother
hen and her "a fluffy little chicks,
as they hop about on their bed
of golden sawdust.
In a wire coop, festooned with
garlands of Georgia smilax, with
sprays of crimson and pink honey
suckle, forming shady place for
them, the baby chicks scamper
about, picking here and there the
crumbs placed for their eating.
In separate compartment, SIM
ilarly ornamented, except that the
quaint little animals hop
around on a bed of green straw,
running in and out of the door of
a novel little house, are two Eas-
ter rabbits, one as black as coal,
the other field mouse brown.
Painted on the window in at
tractive letters of red and blue is
the name of the firm which design
ed this bit of Easter scenery for
the pleasure of the kiddies and the
grownups.
AS a reminder of the very good
things which this up-to-date gro
Gerry store always keeps large
supply, were rows and rows of
tea boxes, silently proeiaiming the
fact that summer is7near, with the
JOY of iced tea. Tetley's, the
very best, and Sunbeam, equally
good, are displayed.
Just inside the wide doors, is
a table on which is arranged and
attractive showing of toilet soaps,
in pinks, greens, grays, white, layer
on layer, surrounded by an en-
closure of Palm Olive, which Har-
ris advocates the constant use of.
Fruits and vegetables in attract
i've array are displayed about the
store, with other good things, con-
stantly sought by the housekeeper.
Everything in season may be por-
cured at this grocery. and always
on the lookout for patrons, the
force thinks ahead to supply the
needs of Americas homemakers.
