Print. Sepia-toned photographic print of a window display featuring children's play clothes available at Kern's Department Store. Six young mannequins are adorned in differing patterned overalls; the children appear to be playing with differing types of toys including a see-saw, and puppets. A large partition in the background features children playing with clowns, and animals in a park setting. Floral arrangements ornament the window display. Signage hanging from a flag pole reads, "Children's Day, June 15th." Also, signage in the central foreground reads, "Play Togs, for the Young Fashionables. Kern's Children's Shop, Second Floor." The photographer's name and geographic location are printed on the recto, "Photography by Davis B. Hillmer, Detroit."
