Christmas Window Displays

Here is a little digitization project we are working on. Photos of Christmas window displays at the Household Outfitting Company in Scranton dating from the 1930's to the 1950's were donated to the library. They were discovered during a renovation project. We are in the processing of scanning them. Our plan is to have them available on the library's web site in time for Christmas. Here is a sample.

Thanks for posting! Actually, that brought back fond memories of my childhood. I grew up near Pittsburgh and we'd make the trip annually to the city to see fabulous animated window displays in Hornes, Kaufmans, and other major department stores - with music blasting around all the streets. Leah
