[James A. Hayes, Insurance and Real Estate office in the Security Building]

Photographer unknown

Mr. Hayes is sitting at his cluttered roll-top desk reading a letter. Hanging on the wall next to his desk is a calendar for May, 1912 with an advertisement for his business “Jas A. Hayes Insurance and Real Estate, Fire, Life, Accident, Health, Public and Employers' Liability.... Dubuque, Iowa.” Hanging on the wall behind Mr. Hayes is a large poster with numerous black and white images of rural and urban scenes. Partially covering these images is another sheet with small advertisements or cartoons. Two plaques hang on a wall between the two windows. One reads “The Title Guaranty and Surety Company, Official Fidelity Judicial, Contract,” and the second reads “The Title Guaranty and Surety Company of Scranton, Penna, agencies in important towns and cities.” The number “62” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “3” is written in the upper left corner.
