owd looking at it." "That's it!" exclaimed Uncle Tad. "That drug store man got a big crowd in front of his store by putting something in the window that made people stop and look. That's advertising." "Maybe Mrs. Golden could fix up her windows so a crowd would stop in front!" exclaimed Sue. "What good would that do?" Bunny asked. "She wants people to come inside her store and buy things." "That's it," agreed Uncle Tad. "But if you get a crowd _outside_ a store, because there's something to look at in the windows, some of that crowd will go _inside_ and buy something." "Only Mrs. Golden hasn't any rubber bags," went on Bunny. "But I guess Sue could lend her a doll if she wanted it to take a swim." "Mrs. Golden doesn't need to put rubber bags in her window," said Uncle Tad. "That wouldn't be the thing for a grocery and notion store. She should put in something that people would stop to look at, or have a special sale or something like that. And another thing I've noticed, when I've been past her place is that the windows are very dirty. You can hardly see what's inside.

Every chance they had, however, they bought things of Mrs. Golden, to help her as much as they could by trading at her store. "And we ought to get the other boys and girls to go there," Sue said. "We will, after a while," agreed Bunny. "Just now we have to do something else." And the something else had to do with his idea and the time he and Sue spent in the barn. With them, most of the time, was Splash, their dog, and Charlie Star often came over with a covered basket. "What do you think the children are doing?" asked Mrs. Brown of Mary, the cook, one day. "Oh, I guess they're getting up some kind of a show," Mary answered. "I can hear Splash barking now and t
