YOUR STRONGEST ATTRACTION
BEAUTY AND IDEALISM
Probably one of the most beautiful window displays ever
presented by a music dealer was that of the Daynes Music
Company, 47 South Main Street, Salt Lake City, at Christmas
time. It was a work of art that made a real appeal.
The window had a cathedral effect which was obtained by
the use of imitation organ pipes of paper and cardboard with
a fine church window effect made of a frame work of card-
board in various colors and covered with cellophane stained
to blend with the two manual Estey Organ in the central
background. Mrs. Ethel C. Daynes, wife of Gerald Daynes,
secretary of the company, created the figures of the choir
boys and organist which were individualized by spot lights.
The window attracted so much attention that radio sta-
tion KLS devoted a half hour to a description of it and an
interview with Mrs. Daynes. The people of Salt Lake City
were enthusiastic about this non-commercial display. They
enjoyed the Christmas carols which were ampliphied from the
window. Mrs. Daynes has done something that can be readily
adapted to any festival season, especilly a religious one.
