SMALL G00DSJ>H0W WINDOW
At Charles H. Ditson & Co.'s New York Es-
tablishment Attracts Much Attention.
This is small goods week at the house of Ditson,
8 East Twenty-fourth street, New York, as far as
the store's handsome show window is concerned,
and practically the entire window display space
is utilized for the exhibition of representative in-
struments of the extensive musical instrument line
c&rried by Charles H. Ditson & Co. Needless to
say, this display is very attractive, as the Ditson
show window affords an excellent opportunity for
well-arranged displays to appear to the best pos-
sible advantage.
As a factor for producing valuable prospects an
artistically decorated show window is entitled to
important consideration. This particularly applies
to the musical instrument field, where a dealer
with any kind of suitable window space can ar-
range a most profitable display from his musical
merchandise line. Violins, mandolins, guitars,
band instruments, drums and even harmonica dis-
plays will lend themselves to advantageous use.
