Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated August 13, 1955 reads, "This is the unique theme for a sales contest at Valley Ford in Burbank for the month of August. The entire sales force at the local dealership has been divided into two teams, with one half having their hair dyed blond and the other half red. Dave Grubbs, president of the agency, and Dex Howard, sales manager, have also gone along and had their hair dyed. The idea has proved to be quite a sales promotion for the new and used cars sold by the agency."
