Peter H. McCarthy, manager, sits in his office at the Standard Lumber Company, 602 7th Street. There is an open roll-top desk behind him with a “Rockwell’s Rival Cabinet Letter File” on top of it. There is a telephone attached to an accordion bracket on the side of the desk with an electronic bell with crank handle, probably for the telephone, attached in the knee space under the desk. A thermometer and several pictures hang to the left of the desk, and hanging to the right is a May, 1912 calendar. The number “197” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “3” has been written in the upper left corner.
