WINDOWS FEATURING SHEET MUSIC
Attractive and Distinctive Window Displays of
Sheet Music Dealers Are Indicative of the
Increasing Trend in This Direction
Sheet music dealers are more and more realiz-
ing the great value of window display space.
The progress made in the dressing of store fronts
is becoming quite marked. Probably the greatest
reason for the advance made in this direction is
the returns which invariably result from unique
and attractive displays.
Among the photographs of recent displays that
have been forwarded to The Review is that of
the window of C. C. Baker, Columbus, O., shown
herewith. It is, indeed, an attractive exhibit and
features most advantageously the Jerome H.
Remick & Co. success, "Tea Leaves." From an
artistic standpoint it is probably one of the best
showings of the season.
As a creator of sales, a recent window in the
Grunewald store, New Orleans, La., was a good
example. In this the Leo Feist, Inc., song and
instrumental number, "Sweetheart," was given
an exclusive display in an exceptionally large
window. The accompanying reproduction shows
the advantages of displaying sheet music in con-
nection with talking machine records and player
