In a narrow warehouse space equipped to serve as a shipping room, three men are posing near rolling wooden carts, stacks of wicker baskets, piles of boxes and rolls of paper-wrapped merchandise. One stack of boxes is labeled “Tanglefoot Fly Paper.” One of the carts is filled with “Ohio Blue Tip Matches,” which are assured to “Strike Anywhere.” Behind this cart is a metal fire extinguisher hung on a wooden post. A sign reading “For Fire” hangs above the fire extinguisher. A hammer, a roll of twine and a paper-wrapped package are visible on a wooden workbench. The number “78” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. No number is written in the upper left corner.
