1950 Carytown Singer Sewing Center Store Window

Today's image is another great one from PLCjr on Flickr. His description:

"This was the early 1950's store window display at the Singer Sewing Center in Carytown at 3104 W. Cary St., Richmond, Virginia. My father-in-law managed the store at the time. The space is now occupied by The One Eyed Jacques."

So, before people stayed up late playing board games in One Eyed Jacques, they may have stayed up late sewing?
