Fred C Robinson sits at a desk in his office at the Coates & Robinson Insurance Company, rooms 617 to 619 in the B & I Building. There is a statue of an elk in the window and, on the wall at left, a plate with the head of an elk above a small portrait of Mr. Robinson. Mr. Robinson, who also appears in KL 124-360, was the National Secretary of the Elks Club (Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks). At the back of the office is a walk-in safe with the door open. There is a June, 1912 Coates & Robinson calendar hanging on a door at left. Below that is an “I.W.W, JOIN THE ARMY” poster, promoting the Industrial Workers of the World union. The number “119” 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.
