Select Best-dressed Windows The Emerson Philadelphia Co., distributor of Emerson records and phonographs, recently Hopkins' Attractive Window held a contest among dealers for the bestdressed window. The contest was held with the purpose of stimulating popular sales and providing increased incentive for attractive windows during the holiday season. The dealers photographed their windows and a great many photographs were submitted. The selection of the best photograph was very difficult due to "the general attractiveness of all photographs submitted. In fact, it was impossible to select one best and the honor of first place was therefore divided between two, the Hopkins Piano & Phonograph Co., of Chester, Pa., and the Blue Bird Music Shop, of 6020 Lansdowne avenue, Philadelphia, Pa. We present an illustration of the first-named, but we may say that the Blue Bird window was also admirably arranged and of such merit that the judges had to divide honors for first place. C. E.
