Bonwit Teller (department store) has earned a reputation for having Manhattan's screwiest window displays (TIME, Dec. 5).

Last week Dali gave Bonwit Teller more than it bargained for, all on the hackneyed subject of "Night...
Arriving in Manhattan for his third U. S. exhibition, Surrealist Salvador Dali refused to admit that he understands his own paintings: "It is enough to do the painting, much less trying to understand...

Bonwit's own Display Director Tom Lee has reached a certain summit this autumn with swank and cockeyed Ballet windows. Harlequin windows and "Sweet Surrealism'' windows, one of whose attractions, the female chair (see cut. p. 57), is already famous in the profession...
