Scope and content
Cocker Spaniel puppies of Mr. Beidler. Geraldine, a jet black cocker spaniel owned by Mr. and Mrs. Myron Beidler, 5438 South "J" St., gave birth to eleven pups of various hues, in October of 1940. Ten of the puppies survived, with their eyes still closed when this series of photographs were taken. Mr. Beidler is pictured above feeding one of the pups with a small bottle and nipple as the tiny puppies were on a special diet. The young girl holding a tin measuring cup was not identified. The tired mother, Geraldine, is believed to be lying on a blanket next to Mr. Beidler. (T.Times 10-25-40, p. 14-picture of puppies)
