LW 1944 Designs Catalog

The newspaper description:  Fifteen cents more brings you our new 32 page Needlecraft Catalog ( the 1944 edition ) - 133 illustrations of designs for embroidery, knitting, crochet, quilts, home decoration, toys".   Although not indicated in the advertisement, the catalog also contained a Free Pattern for a Crocheted Medallion.   This pattern is available in the shop as a Free Download".

This is the first album in the Laura Wheeler series, that I've seen, that features a couple live models versus illustrations alone.   I checked the newspapers to see if the patterns featured live models as well.   No, the newspaper ads had illustrations.
