Description

This view of the interior of the L. J. Baumhover Company shows three salesmen standing in the center of a narrow room. The walls of the room are lined with tall cabinets containing neatly stacked boxes of different sizes. A table in the center of the room is covered with small objects. At the end of the table nearest the camera is a display with a steel safe and an adding machine on a small movable stand. A partially obscured sign over the safe reads “We recommend A_ _ _R'S.”
The number “233” 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.
