Yes… all those women who walked (or roller skated!) around with products attached to their clothing, for advertising purposes, were called banner ladies.
Usually it was for a business, such as a store, but occasionally for a manufacturer.
This is the episode of Lassie, when the Millers, including Jeff, are moving away, leaving foster child Timmy and Jeff’s beloved Lassie on the farm, with their new family, the Martins… (sob…).
Not only that, the Martins at some point were recast… this was not yet June Lockhart in the role. All very sad and confusing for kids…. Not that I remember the episode or the plot as much as the confusion.
Took me a moment, but I guess we’re looking out through the glass door, and seeing the blank backs of most of the signs … But… «sniffle» why would they ban cute little.long pointy dogs?
Isn’t it discrimination? Where’s a dachshund lawyer when you need one?
I thought it looked rather old for the 40s… much more like the 1920s or 30s.
I can’t tell whether that wire, hanging from the water-damaged ceiling, has a light socket on it… but i think the refrigerator is actually an ice box.
But the filename actually says 1940, and image search tells me this was taken September 4, 1940, for the Middlesex County, New Jersey, New Brunswick Housing Authority.
“Reed Court, Apartment J, kitchen”.

So it’s pre-war, and located in low income housing, probably a project of the New Deal.
I don’t mean to put it down. It might have been a bit old fashioned, but for a lot of people, the Depression wasn’t over, and times were hard. I’m sure someone was delighted to have it.
What looks like a wire, is actually a pull-chain that leads to a light fixture just out of the frame.
Does the gas company come by to read the meter once a month?
We had one of those in our first Canadian home (1953) No need to send a meter reader round, you just had to feed coins (quarters?) into it periodically…
that the blobby, grayish thing, on the left side of the second shelf, above the crying woman and the mirror, is a view of the diamond from a different angle. but it’s way too inaccurately drawn, if that’s supposed to be it.
Something bizarre is happening in the space around and above the top of her head. This is the only area with unidentifiable shapes with blurry gray outlines and objects with missing pieces, like the upper right corner of a canvas, the bottom of a framed painting, and the left side of a wheel on top of the printing press.
I just enlarged it, and though it’s badly drawn, I’m thinking more and more that
the diamond…
is meant to be the rather blurry object I described in my other post, on a shelf a little way above the woman’s head. It’s a halfway side angle, probably meant to be a faceted stone.
Cleo doesn’t even counter surf like most dogs… it makes sense, because she doesn’t have to go scavenging like most dogs..
She says “Order pizza” and someone orders pizza… she asks for chips and she gets chips.
So of course she interprets counter surfing as a new canine hobby… and look at the cute new outfit she got for the purpose… no doubt with Clara’s credit card.
Anyway, don’t forget that there are TEN differences this time… I really think you’ll be able to spot them, though.

Ah, there you are. I’d like to order a bowl of kibble. You can place it right over here, thank you.
,,
Obvious.

I’m guessing that that is a banner lady?
Or a drunk lady…

Can you tell what this woman is advertising?
The product may not look familiar….
I thought that was what they had to be.
Not a fine Chardonnay?

You missed me with that ball. I’m too fast and agile for you.

To the best of my abilities. I promise to faithfully carry out the duties of this important national holiday.
I feel that it’s my duty to participate as well.
That doesn’t look like a hot fudge sundae.
That doesn’t look particularly edible even…
I’d be willing to give it a try…
I’ve never meat a sausage i didn’t like.

This car obviously has special accomodations for the shorter driver.
Looks like a Peterbilt, with an Eton-Fuller 19-speed.
Okay, truck, then.

I can’t say I know exactly what’s going on here.

But if you happen to watch it while listening to Green Onions, as I did accidentally, the choreography is great
Well, he certainly got her attention. I hope she has fun getting even.
Pretty sure he’s wearing that bucket now.
Yeah, but where???
Co-incidentally, Green Onions is playing for me while watching myself!
Only other tune that could come close would be Benny Hill’s Yakety Sax…
Sort of looks like the Harlem Globetrotters bit with a bucket full of confetti.

Wow! I don’t remember that episode at all! And I was a big fan of the Tommy Rettig series…

I don’t think he can read the sign.
Then he must be confused about why he’s not allowed in.
Actually he’d be confused if he could read the sign, cos I can, and I am.
It could be: “Due to an extremely unfortunate and embarrassing incident, weiner dogs are no longer allowed to enter the premises!”

American kitchen-1940s

I thought it was a pull chain at first… but it looks like it goes right into the ceiling.
I do believe you… your eyesight is probably better than mine.. But wow… looks like you’d have to stand on that chair to reach it.
Not so much eyesight. One birthday or Christmas, the kids gave me a screen that’s 27 inches diagonal. It’s like cheating.

Wrong! My house was built in 1940, and one of the rooms least updated was the kitchen, and it looks a LOT more updated than this.
I pretty much explain that in my post.
,,..,,
I sure don’t see it. Anybody?
Hmmm… I was thinking that they might
I’m not seeing it either.
I thought, too, that it was weird how the edges of canvases are just disappearing around her head.
Hmmm… But that thing has no angles or corners at all.
Nighthawks says it’s meant to be the thing I was describing, which I outlined in the image in my post below.
I still think it’s not a great rendition.
Right before the ? The answer is intuitively obvious!
I just enlarged it, and though it’s badly drawn, I’m thinking more and more that
That’s it!

I didn’t know all those famous women had giant heads!
Unfortunately, there’s a lot of guys who think that.

Go forth, and search….
I got nine, can’t believe I missed the one I did 🙁
My mistake was
Clouded Leopard, for Caturday.
That one looks less clouded than some other ones
Maybe he has a sunnier disposition.
American Kestrel.
