Advertising Resources in the BPCL

A 3-box collection of 8" x 10" black and white photographs of window displays from the Best & Co. store in New York City from 1933-1934 (taken by Worsinger Photo, NYC). The displays garnered the Socrates' High Award of the Year (an advertising campaign competition) in 1934, defeating department stores around the country. Photographs of the display manager, Richard Terhune, and his assistant, Mary Clark, are included as well as information on the competition in Modern Display from October 1934 (Vol. 9, No. 1).

The Best & Co. brand no longer exists today, though there is background information available for those you would like to learn more about this company.
