content: Donor Virginia "Jimmie" Booth was a buyer for Lord & Taylor and was involved in Lord & Taylor's American Look program of the 1930s to 60s. American Look was developed to promote American designers. Booth says she encouraged the manufacturer to make trousers for women so they could be sold at Lord & Taylor's Country Clothes Shop. Booth wore these pants and enjoyed participating in sports, especially horseback riding, tennis, and golf. Archival materials from Booth can be found in Archives Center collection NMAH.AC.0729.
