| Description | World War II cartoon shows two women in a grocery store. The wall is covered with signs reading, "Service with a Smile," "A Satisfied Customer Is a Steady One," "The Customer Is Always Right," and "We Aim to Please." Two smiling sales clerks stand behind the counter. The caption refers to a standing joke during the war that shortages in most retail areas meant that stores no longer had to be polite to customers to sell their products. Taylor was a staff cartoonist for the New Yorker and an accomplished water colorist as well. |
