A typewritten note that accompanies this drawing states: "Street Cleaner. Manpower shortage was the occasion for the hiring of women for the lighter chores of garbage collection With their often bizarre assortment of costume - and always a flower ablaze in their hair,-- good-humored banter, and real efficiency, they are still a colorful part of the local scene."
