Wanted: Nine Children/p>
Bubley photographed a family with nine children from Fort Dodge, Iowa for The Ladies' Home Journal, How America Lives series. The story was published in June 1951. The family, the paternal grandmother, and two boarders lived in a nine room house and traveled in a '47 Chevy truck. A week's supply of groceries included 63 quarts of milk and 21 loaves of bread. The father, making a career move that was unusual at the time, left his traveling job and started his own business in order to spend more time with the family.
