Figure 1.--This image is another ad for "Mellin's Food--A Milk Modifier" and appears in "The Forecast" for September, 1927 (p. 201). Again we have a group of children, in this case playing outdoors, apparently in a back yard or garden.

This image is another ad for "Mellin's Food--A Milk Modifier" and appears in "The Forecast" for September, 1927 (p. 201). Again we have a group of children, in this case playing outdoors, apparently in a back yard or garden. Two of the children ride tricycles while the other two are sitting in a wagon. They are dressed for moderately chilly weather, all of them with long stockings. The girl riding her trike or kiddy-car wears a pleated dress with a wide collar, tan long stockings and sandals. The older boy to the right of her wears a short-sleeved play suit with short pants and long dark stockings. The boy at the right sitting in the wagon wears a cardigan sweater, short pants with long black stockings, hightop shoes, and a flat cap. The little girl wears a white bonnet of some sort, what looks like a dark jacket, dark stockings and hightop shoes. Presumably all these middle-class children are dressed typically for outdoor play on a cool September day.
