W. H. Black of Belleville was one of a crew of electricians who yesterday put the circles of lights into working order on the 152 "season's greetings" plaques scattered throughout the business districts of the city. The plaques and other decorative material were installed last week on 76 posts by a Grand Rapids firm as part of a Christmas season promotion program financed at a cost of some $2,000 by the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce and the Retail Merchants Association.

Gillett, 31-year-old Ann Arbor housewife, pictured as she left her home at 1703 Stadium Blvd., won the title of "Mrs. Typical Customer" in the retail merchants' competition, it was announced last night during the open house of the stores.
