These miniatures were offered to the young ladies as a gift from Lane but it was required for the young lady, usually accompanied by her parents, to pick up the gift at the Lane dealership.
The point of the visit was three-fold.
1.) Congratulate the young lady on her graduation (from Highschool).
2.) Offer a discount on the purchase of a full sized Lane cedar chest as a graduation gift from the purchaser (parent, grandparent, boyfriend, etc.) to the graduate.
3:) To introduce the young lady to the dealer because Lane knew, especially in the early days of the Plan, that half of the graduates would be married and setting up a household (in need of furniture) within eighteen months of graduation.
This box is from approximately 1945 (label age in research) has set upon a dresser with trinkets in it for most of 70 years, this one does not have a key, the ORIGINAL feet are on the box (see pics) the original
