Music Stores Throughout the Country Making More
Elaborate Showing to Call Trade.
One of the very evident aspects of present retail
activities is the increased amount of attention being
given by large local stores to their window displays.
The main attempt has been to attract interest by
novel showings in keeping with the current trend
of consumer purchasing, and the standards of for-
mer holiday seasons have been excelled in many re-
spects. Display men say their instructions from store
executives are that this form of indirect selling must
be heavily stressed, and they have practically been
given free rein to make their window displays as
unique as possible.
Scenic portrayals occupying whole windows are
frequent in Fifth Avenue stores, New York, and in
Wabash Avenue stores, Chicago, while shops in the
more moderate-priced centers are utilizing effective,
uncrowded group arrangements of related merchan-
dise. The piano stores are utilizing their window
space to more advantage than formerly as recent de-
scriptive articles on the subject, which have been ap-
pearing in Presto, have indicated.
