Fred C. Robinson (in the light suit at left) stands, working with 4 other men in an office on the top floor of the B & I building. There are a table, three desks, a safe, and a large bank of file cabinets in the room. At left, a sculpture of an elk stands on a small table. On the wall, above the sculpture, is a mounted elk’s head and on the floor is a wolfskin or light-colored bearskin rug. Mr. Robinson (who also appears in KL 123-319 was the national secretary of the Elks Club (Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks). The arrangement of the windows and walls places this room in the northeast corner of the top floor of the B & I building. There is a Coates & Robinson day calendar hanging between the widows. It reads: “Fri 7 Jun.” The number “120” 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.
