Print. Black and white photographic print of a window display which features women's fashions and accessories available at Himelhoch's department store. A female mannequin stands on the right side of the window and is wearing a pleated dress with belt, and bow applique; two other dresses in similar in style are displayed left of the mannequin. Also, featured on the floor of the display are ladies suiting and accessories including gloves, perfumes, and a lace collar. An image of an eagle is affixed to the rear of the display on an oversized cover of Vogue magazine, and reads, "Americana, Americana." Signage visible right of the mannequin reads, "Americana fashions for Office Girls, 'Bus it' to work… Soda and sandwich lunch… but they look like fashion plates… thanks to Himelhoch's budget-minded shops." The photographic sequence number, and the photographer's name are printed on the bottom of the recto, "17806; Davis B. Hillmer."
