Lillian Anderson of Rosholt displayed elegance in both dress and hairstyle. Seen here with her children, Malcolm
and Lola, she wore a houndstooth-checked day dress with floating front and back panels. Although the high collar
was a conservative choice at this time, the multiple layered skirt was very fashionable. Exotic styles were being
designed in Paris at this time, but few, if any, would have been seen on the streets of Stevens Point.

Carrie Frost, founder of Weber Tackle Company of Stevens Point, represented the increasing role of women
in business. The severe tailored suit was popular during the war years. Stylish skirts had risen to several
inches of the floor, unlike the one pictured here from 1917. American women donated their steel corsets to
the war effort. The resulting 28,000 tons of steel were enough to build two battleships, Undergarments were
never the same again.
