This black and white image of a 1930s drugstore window shows a display advertising the benefits of milk. In the center of the display is a paper cut-out of a boy holding a huge bottle of milk. The writing on the bottle says, “One Quart of Milk; See What I Contain.” At the base of the display are smaller paper images of the boy holding actual glass bottles. Each bottle contains a white powdery substance which as been measured out to represent the amount of an ingredient found in milk. There are five of these bottles. They represent fat, mineral matter, protein, vitamins, and sugar. In addition, there are pacifiers, baby bottles and metal baby rattles added to decorate the display.
