Window Scenes and Advertising in the City Streets
A narrator describes strolling Port Street windows and shop displays, noting augmented photos in Gurrey's and Motlister Drug Company, and recalling an advertising lesson from a merchant about loyalty and "our" and "the" in store slogans. He observes Tiffany's miniature jewelry, a photo display, and a humorous exchange about a buyer catching fading signs. He muses on ads that align with reality and ends by returning to window views and new pictures from a photographer in Port No.
