Display window, J.L. Hudson Company department store
Description:
View of a display window at the J.L. Hudson Company department store featuring two mannequins of women wearing dresses. Fabric is draped on floor. Sign in background reads: "Fire fighters of '81. The Detroit Fire Department is probably as efficient as any similar organization in the world. Looking backward to 1703 and the earliest recorded burning of Ste. Anne's Church; and again to 1805 when the fire in John Harvey's bakeshop began the total destruction of every building in Detroit -- we realize that great progress in fire fighting has been made. Today motor transportation plays an active part in every fire organization. Hudson's sixtieth anniversary." Sign in foreground reads: "1881-1941. The J.L. Hudson Company's sixtieth Jubilee year." Printed on front: "Davis B. Hillmer."
