Fred Doerrmann and one of the itinerant photographers stand, looking at sample books, in the front room of Mr. Doerrmann’s tailor shop, rooms 621-627 of the B & I Building. There is a woman’s jacket on a tailor’s, or dressmaker's, dummy and several bolts of fabric stacked on a table at left. A bench and a rack of jackets and dresses are at right. One of the fabric sample books on the table at center is labeled, “Mason & Hanson.” “Fred Doerrmann. TAILOR. WALK IN.” is painted on the glass in the door in the center of the back wall, appearing backwards in this photograph. The room number, “623,” is painted on the glass in the transom above the door. The number “73” 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.
