Exploring 50 Years of History: An Ad from Washington a Day Before Kennedy’s Assassination

As we approach the 50th anniversary of Kennedy's assassination, we're taking a look back at the newspapers of the day to explore what was happening in Washington. Here's an ad from Woodward & Lothrop that ran exactly 50 years ago today.
November 25th, 1941 - Washington Post
Looking east at construction on Arlington Memorial Bridge over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., in the United States. Note the statue on the partially-constructed pedestal just to the right of the abutments (bottom center). The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts erected this mock-up to determine how high statues on the piers of the bridge should be.
