This advertising image by Ellen Auerbach emphasizes the tactile materials of the hat and gloves in order to stimulate the consumer's desire to touch and possess these goods. The straw-like patch of false hair on the mannequin's head and the demurely crossed hands of the "model" provide an element of humor.
