Scope and content
Mrs. Grace Francis posed in October of 1936 inside the women's clothing shop, the Francis Dress Shop at 417 Pacific Ave. in Bremerton, that she owned and operated with her husband George. She is wearing an elaborate lace collar with velveteen flowers clustered at the neckline. Her hair is styled in a marcel. A satin blouse and lingerie are on the counter. Mrs. Francis was called a "modern woman" in the Bremerton Sun newspaper article, able to run a business and still keep her home "spic and span." (Bremerton Sun 11/28/1936, pg.1).
