POPPY DAY WINDOW AT WHITEAWAY'S
Impressive Display
One of the windows of Messrs. Whiteaway, Laidlaw and Company have been set aside for a Poppy Day [display.
In the background are the figures |"1914–1918," ̄ bringing back to memory the great world war. Near the front the word "Rememberance," in red tissue paper covers the whole iwidth of the window. The most outstanding and appealing decors. tion, however, is the little white cross standing in the centre of a Union Jack.
On the right is a placard on which is inscribed
"If I should die, think only this
of me,
That there's some corner of a for-
eign field,
That is for ever England.” White and red were the only colours used in the display.
