1941 Press Photo Mrs. Helmus B. Wells of Wauwatosa painting a fence at party

Mrs. Helmus B. Wells of Wauwatosa - In response to clever invitations issued by the William H. Wagners last week to a "fence painting" party, dozens of their friends and neighbors arrived armed with brushes and buckets to paint their picket fence surrounding their home at 5577 North Shoreland avenue. A buffet supper followed. The hostess is shown, at lower left, and Mrs. Helmus B. Wells of Wauwatosa, Mrs. Wagner's mother, was among those who "worked on the job."
