MERRILL ROSE, who claims to have the "world's largest record shop," recently designed a window completely devoted to tape. Rose is barely visible at the upper right of this photograph taken at the Chicago johnny got his gun Madison Street shop. The Cutty Sark display (center) dates back to a period years ago when Rose had a friend in the liquor business who supplied the record retailer with a display. "Since then, we've always kept a Cutty Sark display in our windows," Rose said. Rose's brother, Aaron, operates a second Rose Discount Record store in Chicago.
