SELLING THE SONGS
Jesse French & Sons Piano Co.'s Manager in
Mobile, Ala., Believes in Making Win-
dow Displays Real.
By RAYMOND RUSSELL VOORHEES.
The trouble with many displays in windows is that
they are not real. They lack that touch that "gets"
the people when they stop and look in. Not so, how-
ever, with the display that was used recently by the
Jesse French & Sons Piano Co. of Mobile. Ala. This
firm, of which J. Henry Resch is manager, used a
window to feature "Rain," which was so real that it
got the business in fine shape.
Figures of a young man and girl were cut from wall
board and painted to look almost real. This was the
central feature of the display. An umbrella was held
open over them. The rest of the window was taken
up with a display of the song, green grass being put
around the floor to add a real touch.
Hidden behind a little drop that was suspended
from the ceiling of the window there was a pipe in
which were tiny holes. Water was pumped through
this pipe and fell in the window in a trough just in
front of the couple with the umbrella over their heads.
Colored lights played on the couple from the top of
the window.
The song was featured at a local theater and so a
sign was included in the window stressing the fact.
"Rain" was carried in sheet music and on three
makes of records. In the first day of this display one
hundred copies of sheet music were sold and two
hundred records. The balance of the display con-
tinued to bring sizable business. The window was
so real it just had to bring in business.
