4scuda, Nice post but could you possibly take more closer in individual shots of the window display photos so we can get a better look?...more the merrier!...It would be very interesting to know the cities that the window displays were in for the contest.

Mike, So those are actual photos you posted? If you don't mind me asking are those yours? I see a photographers stamp in a couple of them....that might give a clue to where the stores were

Below a huge bronze plaque I have, made by Dieges and Clust, that was presented to Nat Wylie of the Steel Howe Company in 1929...not sure if Steel Howe was the sporting goods store or a window dressing company. Below a snippet of one of 4Scuda's pages that shows Nat Wylie's window in Witchita in 1927 two years before my 1929 plaque...So we know Nat Wylie decorated windows in Wichita for at least two years... probably much longer....who ever he was...Interesting guy this Nat Wylie....particularly since he won the contest for the whole country in 1929. I wonder how many stores competed?

By the way the artist of the plaque was by renown sports sculptor Jack Lincoln Lambert
