Policewomen. Mrs. Hattie Pool Cook and Miss Pauline Kindiger. A photo of two women seated in wooden office chairs, both wearing suits with skirt and jacket and blouse, examining a piece of paper they are holding between them. Purses are in their laps. The woman on the left has on a lighter suit and a dark hat with gathered netting on top. The woman on the right is wearing a jewelry broach at her neckline and has a cluster of artificial fruit on her lapel. Instead of running a typical head shots, this photo gives readers a look at the age, race, and weight of the women hired as the first on the Fort Worth Police force.The note on the negative envelope suggests that the names were run out of order in the paper and that Hallie Pool Cook is on the right, Kindiger on the left. Clipping:"Fort Worth's first two policewomen--Mrs. Hallie Pool Cook, left, and Miss Pauline Kindiger." Stamped: Star-Telegram. Eve. Nov. 9, 1943
