Look Magazine published a series of six articles in 1944, entitled "Hometown U.S.A.", designed to present Glens Falls as a patriotic model of the home front during World War II, particularly looking forward to America's transition from war to peace. The specific dates of the articles were April 4 and 18, June 27, September 5 and 19, and November 28, 1944. Look anticipated that these articles would provide other communities with ideas to stimulate their own postwar planning. The author of the series of articles was George F. Koether, associate editor of Look. Look sent a team of photographers to Glens Falls for several months in 1943 and 1944 in preparation for these articles. The principal photographers were Harold Rhodenbaugh and Betty Truxell, and a person identified only as Sandberg also took a few photographs.
