Print. Black and white photographic print of a window display featuring the American Tradition home furnishings exhibition at The J.L. Hudson Company Department Store. Items featured in the window relate to early Americana and are on loan from the Henry Ford Museum. Home furnishings featured in this window include a drop-leaf dining room table with ladder-back chairs, a buffet, and occasional table. Silver pieces including goblets, a punch bowl, pitcher, and candlesticks have been placed atop each table surface. An image is mounted on the wall above the buffet. Signage in the right foreground of the window reads, "American Tradition, As exciting as America's past, see it all now on Hudson's Home Floors." A secondary sign reads, "The furniture featured here is from the Henry Ford Museum collection by Century Furniture, view all on Hudson's 9th Floor." The photographic sequence number, company name, and photographer's name are printed on the bottom of the recto, "28137-2x; The J.L. Hudson Company; Photography by Davis B. Hillmer."
