play of the Oliver Ditson Co., especially dressed
for the occasion, the central position of which

Music Week Display
The Ditson Co. has been noted for its well-
arranged windows, but none of its attractive
displays in recent months created more atten-
tion than its Music Week showing.

the purpose of creating sales. It was deemed a
