| Reverse of Image ID: 97814. Cardboard, wood Gift of Margaret Faludi (1981.174.3) In 1934 the first quintuplets to survive infancy were born to the Dionne family in Ontario, Canada. The five girls became instant celebrities and a commercial enterprise in their own right. Their image was used to endorse hundreds of products, including Lakeside Dyeworks of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, whose owners bought this mass-produced fan and printed their business name on the back. |
