The Big Friendly department store in Trion sponsored this fashion show. It appears to have taken place on the upper floor of the store.

The cute little girl standing with her pretty mother in this and other photographs is Elaine High Crouch. Elaine told me recently she has no memories of her modeling debut. Looks like she got a boo-boo on her right knee.
