A man, possibly Lawrence J. Whelan or Frank M. Whelan, wearing a vest and bow tie stands behind the counter at Whelan Bros. Grocers, 159 South Bluff. A box of 24 packages of Washington Crisps Corn from United Cereal Mills Ltd. sits on the floor in the foreground. There are displays for Kitchen Klenzer, Old Dutch Cleanser and Soap, and Grape Nuts (“Build your body right on Grape=Nuts.”). The number “130” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “1” is written in the upper left corner.
