Photographer unknown

Two young men and an older man, all dressed in dark suits, are seated at desks and work tables in a small office. One of the younger men is holding a cigar and writing in a large ledger, while the other young man is holding a pipe and seated at a desk in front of a typewriter. A telephone is also visible on this desk. A double electric bell, perhaps for the telephone, with the numbers “288” above it, is mounted on a nearby wall, next to a window. The window frame is curved at the top, and has a striped awning. The view from this window is of the upper floor and roof of a nearby building. Next to the older man’s desk is a small bookcase or library cart filled with large record books. A large, gas chandelier hangs from the ceiling. An electric desk lamp is visible on top of the older man’s desk. The number “243” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. The number “1” is written in the upper left corner.
