Image
A large Christmas tree fills the bay window in the dining room of Herbert P. and Margaret Brumder. There are Christmas gifts arranged around the tree, and include a child's winter coat and hat, two child's quadricycles, a toy dog-drawn milk cart, large sailboat, and a pickup truck. A note below the sailboat reads, in part: "This I give Herbert for good arithmatic[sic] and ..." At left, a man's torso partially obscures the flashlight source.
