Mr. Weihe, owner of F. H. Weihe & Company, is seated at his large desk. The desktop is covered with papers and an ink well. Various sizes of desk file drawers and cubbyholes are visible. A telephone has been placed on the top of the desk. A metal box with depressible buttons is attached to the side of the desk and a piece of metal conduit extends from the box around the side of the desk. Attached to the wall above the desk is a June 1912 monthly calendar advertising “The Conner Company, Laona Rock Maple and Birch Flooring." A January 1912 monthly calendar with a stylized drawing of a woman is attached to a wall behind Mr. Weihe. The number “88” 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.
