Crowds of spectators visiting the center for the first time are finding much of interest in the smartly-designed, well equipped building, which contains 24,745 square feet (the equivalent of 26 average-sized homes) and is staffed by 80 persons. It is the window display section, however, which draws the greatest number of "oh's" and "ah's." Six large windows equipped with more than 200 lighting fixtures make up this section, designed to give extra service to advertising clientele. WSLS RADIO AND TELEVISION Remember . . . ROANOKE is VIRGINIA'S No. 1 TV Market! The floors of two windows are mounted on hydraulic-electrically controlled lifts that raise them to street level from basement level, and all display props and merchandise are transported by this means. A traffic count, using formulas and methods approved by the Traffic Audit Bureau Inc., shows that a daily average of 24,786 persons view the windows. Represented Nationally — Avery-Knodel, Inc.
