International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union - Description:
- Several light skinned men load parcels of donated clothes onto a truck for the ILGWU Clothing Campaign, part of the United National Clothing Collection. The door on the side of the truck is open, and displays a poster reading "What can you spare that they can wear?" There is a man in the truck piling clothes and parcels, who is smiling broadly while looking down at his work. Outside the truck are 4 men in overcoats and hats standing near a waist-high pile of parcels, one man is handing a small paper-wrapped parcel into the truck, the one farthest to the right is reaching into the pile, and the man farthest to the left is holding up what might be a fur-lined winter coat.
