Description

The storefront window of James Levi Company features two main windows. A sidewalk sits below and in the foreground while square texture tiles sit above the window. The two windows feature a curtain that runs along the top of the window and on either side of the windows. The curtains on the edges of the windows are held back by a rope. The left window has a female mannequin sitting down in a wicker chair. She is wearing a wide brimmed hat with flowers on it, a dark beaded necklace and lighter colored clothing and heels. She is holding a fabric with flowers and a piece of linoleum and to her right is a sign that says, "For Every Room in the House: Armstrong's Linoleum". Behind her on the wall are pieces of linoleum set on the wall or curled up, as well as to the left of the window and on the floor. The "James Levi Company" window paint is featured on the left side of the left window and the right side of the right window. The right window also features the Armstrong Linoleum that is put on the wall and hanging and there are rolled up, tall pieces in the back along the wall. There is also a wicker love seat that has an Armstrong Linoleum sign leaning up against it and linoleum sitting laying against the love seat.
