DescriptionImage in grey, black and white. The front of a building (a store?) with JAPS NOT WANTED in a banner across the top. Under it: We beg Mom for yellow slices of cheese between white bread or peanut butter and jelly for school lunches. At left, the monochrome grey figure of a woman outlines in white against a grey background. Her proper left arm rest akimbo on her hip and her proper right hand points to the banner. The building entrance has a porch fence with a large square post at left and seven widely spaced slats extending to the right.ProvenanceC. Richard Belger and Evelyn Craft Belger, Kansas City, MO;
