Description
Photograph of a shoe polish display in a supermarket, [s.d.]. Five shelves can be seen at center and are stacked with various types of shoe polish and shoe white. The types of shoe polish include No-rub, Shinola, Jet-Oil, Barton's, DynaShine, Energine, Oil-Glow, and Wilbert's. Two aisles can be seen, one on each side of the shoe polish display. The aisle at left contains pottery and glassware, while the aisle at right contains baskets and several unidentified products. Numbers under each product indicate the price, possibly in ration coupons. The Barton's White Glaze is labled as "Not Rationed".
