the report of the judges said This
WINDOW has the special merit of COM
pelling attention with the battered re-
mains of an automobile wreck on the
one side and the figure of a bandaged
hospital patient in a wheel chair on
the other side. In addition, it makes
use OF the famous Three Musketeers'

All slogan, emphasized still further by
the injunction to Give to rs Agencies

trally located sign in the foreground"

It's appreciation of the very fine and
effective displays made in many other
store windows, with special mention
for the effective and artistic window at
S. Kann Sons store, which was ar
ranged by Joseph B. Mccain, chair
man of the window dressers' commit
