Views & Reviews/ Retail Reporting Bureau/ 101 Fifth Avenue, New York 10003/ Bonwit Teller New York/ Display Director: Dan Arje/ Bridal/ Timeless Touch/ To our mind, there are basically two approaches to Bridal displays: One is the opulent, highly decorated scene setting mood and atmosphere geared to selling the image of a bridal salon; the other is the simple, serene setting with just a hint of certain atmosphere and geared to spotlighting the particular gown shown. These print-panels of a timeless scene - clouds drifting over treetops of a forest - provide a nice, quiet answer for a display of the latter type./ Cloud prints from Ausen Display Corp., 133 West 19th Street, New York, N.Y. 100019/ Printed in U.S.A./ 6572-61C (text)
