(Bisbee Review)
Hundreds of people availed themselves yesterday and Sunday of the privilege of viewing the magnificent silver service presented to the battleship Arizona by the citizens of the state. The service was most effectively arranged in one of the large display windows of the Phelps Dodge Mercantile Company. Decorators of the company supplied as a central background a huge shield on which was an American eagle, and overhead the National colors.
In the foreground, and occupying the entire floor space of the window the many articles of silver completing the service were displayed. Some of the heavier pieces such as punch bowl, coffee urn, flower bowl and salvers were truly gorgeous in their rich dignity. The design throughout all of the articles is exceedingly graceful and appropriate. It is expected that the service will remain in the Phelps Dodge window for three or four days, and it is well worth the time of every citizen to view it.
