Dewey's Stews & Brews

This is a photo of a sign taken somewhere in California in 1977, part of a collection of photographs of signs gathered over the past 35 years. Mr. Dewey is obviously responsible for the "brews" part of their joint business arrangement, but seems unhappy with Mrs. Dewey. Bad stew? Or, is it just the way she carries her end of the sign. Could he be upset because Mrs. Dewey insists on wearing that formal dress when she knew that they had to hang the sign today. She doesn't seem to care though, she's resolute in her decision to dress and carry as she pleases.
