Description Advertisement showing the three-and-one-half story grocery at 121, i.e. 209 North Third Street. A laborer carries a sack through the store entrance as inside a clerk scribbles on a piece of paper as he is surrounded by piles of sacks and shelves of boxes. In the upper floor windows, other employees go about their work and piles of boxes are visible. Outside of the building, sacks are piled on the sidewalk and another worker descends the stairs to the cellar. To the right, a man leads a loaded horse-drawn dray from the side alley to the rear office of the business. At the lower office window, surrounded by barrels, a clerk is busy at his desk inside. A woman stands at a window above. Also shows a fire insurance marker on the main building, and partial views of neighboring buildings, including Conrad & Roberts, hardware store (123).
