[8 Men Standing in Street in front of Jewel Co. Inc. Vehicles]

Hoffman, Peter B.

8 men are seen standing in the street in front of 2 vehicles and 3 carriages with horses with the name, "Jewel Co. Inc." written on the side. There are street car rails in the road and it is also covered in dirt and made of bricks. All 8 men are wearing dark colored suits and hats. The third man from the left is holding a small black colored dog. Behind the automobiles and the men are buildings. The first two buildings have large windows along the sidewalk. The second building has a ladder starting at the second floor and extending upward for a fire escape. The second building has, "Theis & Johnson: Auto Repairs / Machine Shop" written on the windows. In other windows there is, "Firestone Tires" and "Willard Storage Batteries" on signs. The next building has signs that say, "Oakland-Six Service" and "Goodrich Tires". There is also a gasoline pump behind the men and in front of the next building, which says, "Nutwood Garage" with a sign hanging beneath it that reads, "Sam Henderson: Automobiles: Washed...." and other words that cannot be read. This is located on Central Ave. and is the Jewel Tea Company.
