Description: Three women in fashionable summerwear.
Comment: A rhetorical question... “What's better than a smartly dressed, attractive woman?” Well, three of them, of course! Through a long association with Jantzen Swimwear Hawley created not just attractive images, but a sense of style's marriage to substance that was pretty much of a forerunner. While the three are taped down to a backing board, I believe that they'd come up without too much resistance.
