SummaryImage represented is one of a related set (DEPT 0103, DEPT 0102, DEPT 0101), some of which may also be described in this new record; Four views of progress of window display for Mays Department Store on Fulton Street, showing water flowing over rocky landscape. Caption on verso of 0103: "PSYCHOLOGICAL REFRESHMENT: Perhaps you are one of the perspiring hordes that lingered during the hot days of the past week before that visually cool May's window display in the old Loeser building. Photographed above are the stages of its creation by George Gilder, Mays' window display director. At left (0100: 10 x 8 in.) is the basic structure -- wood supports, chicken wire, hollow rocks, metal pan that became lake bed and flexible hose in upper middle background that supplies the water. Second (0101: 10 x 8 in.) is the skeleton after clothing with concrete. Third (0102: 10 x 8 in.) is the concrete painted and adorned with vegetation, as the water begins to flow. At right, the final production (0103: 8 x 10 in.), with the water rippled by electric fans. The display will be maintained indefinitely, according to Joe Weinstein, president of Mays."
