Print. Black and white photographic print of an interior view of the ladies gown shop inside The J.L. Hudson Company Department Store.

Signage on the right side of the mannequin reads, "Todays costumes follow the trend toward Suburban Living, Cherry-color, silhouette, poised against the charming lines of the new 1954 MERCURY STATION WAGON." More styles and patterns of ladies dresses are visible in the background. The date, photographic sequence number, company name, and photographer's name are printed on the bottom of the recto, "6-12-54; 25907-3x; The J.L. Hudson Company; Photography by Davis B. Hillmer."
