Provenance

Found in collections. Has a stamp for C.C. Miller, Country Club Ave, Gresham OR on the back. Now more commonly known as a "fashion show" or "fashion revue", 4-H continues to have style revue competitions, where 4-H members model clothing they've created that year. A June 3rd, 1933 Oregonian article notes that 4 year old Elaine Gall was modeling an outfit made by dress, suits, and children's clothing sewing competition winner Kathryn Parks, who also placed first in the state news-writing 4-H contest that year. Doris Spears tied with Parks in that contest, and also recieved first in the regular dress-sewing contest. June Clark, Janet Hinkle, and Alice Suhr were also accomplished 4-H club members during their youths; Clark represented Oregon at the National 4-H Club Conference in 1933.
