Waitrose window displays - a test of pulling-power?

                                                                                                                    190 Acton Lane 1914
From their beginnings in 1904, Wallace Wyndham Waite and Arthur Rose took every opportunity to promote their business.  Waite thought window display was a key way to attract customers into the shops and spent a great deal of time creating innovative window displays.

                                                                                                                         Gloucester Road 1928
Often used to promote merchandise from across the British Empire, for which he was awarded the MBE, his window displays were eye catching and changed on a regular basis.
