Bestline Incorporated operated out of California and its Cameo Retail Division sold cleaning and home care items through in-home demonstration parties. The photograph was taken for the article entitled "IH Rolls in Bestline's New Woman's World," appearing in the Volume 42, Number 4, 1972 issue of "International Trail" magazine. The caption of a similar photograph reads, "Cabs of company's pink IH power units will perhaps never carry a prettier load, or more of same, than this bevy of Cameo representatives. Girls insisted on this display of 'togetherness' when they were inspecting the roomy compartment of new C-O F4070A. The five were (l to r) Beth Gribbin, Brenda Monroe and Maureen Gibbons of San Jose; Miss (Aileen) Baumgardner and Marie Parillo, Arlington Texas. They were in Chicago 'meeting' new Bestline products (below) when the IH trucks were delivered." |
