The young women in this 1930s black and white photograph are posing in 3 connecting storefront windows to advertise drinking milk. The first window has two women sitting in school desks, one in front of the other. An American flag stands next to the front desk. Each desk has a bottle of milk on it. A sign next to the second desks says, “Milk for the school room.”
In the next window, a young woman is seated on the floor next to a pine tree. A picnic lunch is spread out on a blanket in front of her. Two milk bottles are next to the window. A sign next to the woman says, “Milk for the picnic.”
The far window has a table set up for a tea party. There are three young women seated at the table which is decorated with a fancy table cloth and a candlestick. The sign in the window says, ”Milk at the party.“
