This collection includes approximately 40,000 photographs by commercial photographer Ralph Morris, who worked in the Los Angeles area from 1939-1981. His advertising and industrial clients included department stores, restaurants, the automobile and petroleum industries as well as business executives. Also included is the Luckhaus Studio collection of architecture, fashion, the movie industry, sports and street scenes, images which Morris obtained in 1939. A window display of the bedroom tells you that "young and old" should give an electric blanket for Christmas. Beneath a sign on the back display wall sets a bed using said blanket. Displayed around the room are various boxes in Christmas wrap, along with a miniature tree on the table and wreaths on the walls.
