'Das weiße Gold' at the Düsseldorf exhibition, 1937

In an exhibition hall a crowd of visitors stands before a tall display: a map of Germany modelled in white fluffy fibre, lettered Das weiße Gold, with a brand name repeated on the panels below; a woman in a hat turns and looks straight into the camera. The Reich Exhibition 'Schaffendes Volk' in Düsseldorf showed off the home-made substitutes of the Four-Year Plan, such as synthetic staple fibre to replace imported cotton and wool.
