Bohl & Gamble must have done a good business if all eight adults were employees. Watermelons are in, as are potatoes, so it must be late summer or early fall, assuming the produce is regional; sweet corn, celery, sweet potatoes and cucumbers are also in the sidewalk displays. The window displays feature candy, both Niagara and Mirror Gloss brand starches, large size canning jars with glass dome lids and wire handles, bottles of catsup and sauces and a large cutout of a little boy with arm raised and pointing at some food item that he wants his mom to buy, of course! The hanging lamp fixtures in the windows must still have the July 4th decorations on them – due to come down in a few months for Christmas replacements?
Next door at left is a home decorating store that has everything you need in paint, wall paper, window shades and picture frames. On the right someone is making a fast getaway from the livery stable tucked away in the alley!
My scans of images are large ultra-high resolution files that provide fine detail right down to the texture of the paper and grain of the film; that is why I often describe things that you cannot see even in my relatively large online images; it isn't possible to post such files for quick viewing.
