Snowman in Window Attractively Decorated and
Playing a Saxophone Is Novel Idea.
The Chicago Conn Co., E. Van Buren street, Chi-
cago, presents a novel window during the holidays
that is suggestive of Christmas, New Year and winter
in general and as a whole is very attractive and in-
teresting. The window is enjoyed by both young and
old. The children are interested in the snowman,
especially when they see the saxophone he is sup-
posed to play.
The company has experienced a very busy trade
during the holidays. Saxophones, clarinets and other
instruments seemed to have been a big attraction to
the Christmas shoppers, and although Christmas is
over the demand is not expected to fall off to any
great extent.
