Hull-House Christmas toy giveaway

 

Children in line for presents at a Hull-House Christmas toy giveaway, co-sponsored by Merchandise Mart Toy and Juvenile Association, in a lot next to the Jane Addams Center; boxes of toys including Play Doh and Slinky are stacked alongside a Hertz rental truck. Two police officers are standing between the children and the toys and a woman in the center is looking back at the camera. At the back of the truck are a police officer and a Hull-House employee, possibly director Russell Ballard; above them, kneeling on top of the truck, is a photographer pointing his camera at attendees below.
