Chicago · August 7–10, 1938

On display in Chicago

An exhibition display puts the company, its products and its public presence in one frame.

Visible evidence
The caption identifies the Sports Equipment Exposition at the Stevens Hotel, Chicago, August 7–10, 1938. The display sign names Lauby Bait Company, Marshfield, Wisconsin.
Documented context
The March 1938 issue of Golfdom announced a sports-equipment exposition at the Stevens Hotel for those dates. The announcement corroborates the event, rather than identifying the people in this photograph.
Still to be establishedThe photographer, original print history and identities of people in the scene still need confirmation.
