Building on 56th and M showing block construction, Holroyd Company, Mr. Holroyd. The Clipper Restaurant is featured not because of their free coffee or good food but for the two-storied building's construction. It is made of concrete block and the photograph was ordered by the Holroyd Company, manufacturers of concrete building materials. A neon sign over the door advertises the restaurant and another in the window advertises Meadowsweet Ice Cream. Some older automobiles are parked along the street and a public telephone is to be found inside Clipper's. A beauty salon is housed in the opposite end of the building.
