Photograph was edited for publication purposes. Photograph caption dated November 26, 1957 reads "Patricia Ann Stone, pretty 17-year-old junior at North Hollywood High, started something when she decided to begin building her hope chest with Valley Moderne Stainless Tableware. This idea has caught on among femininity of the teenage set. Pat, who is the daughter of Mrs. Dorothy Stone, of 5633 Farmdale, North Hollywood, assembles the Valley Moderne coupons which appear daily on Page 2 of the Valley Times. Each week with six differently numbered coupons, and 96 cents plus tax, she obtains one place setting of this glamorous tableware. She is building for an 8-piece set of 48 pieces."
