A man and woman sit at a desk in an unidentified office in the B & I Building. The woman is writing in a stenographers’ notebook and the man is holding a pencil and is looking at a paper. The shade of a large window behind them is pulled shut. A dictation machine sits on a stand beside the man and there is a spittoon on the floor next to him. On the wall at left is a map of Iowa. On the back wall, to the left of the window is a May, 1912 calendar advertising "Breeders Gazette." The woman in this picture (and possibly the man as well) also appear in KL 118-031. The number “86” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “1” has been written in the upper left corner.
