Scope and content
The interior of the Marshall-Wells store on Sixth Avenue was photographed on November 14, 1952. Shelves are crowded with a variety of items for sale, including fans, basketballs, tricycles, and garbage cans. The business was owned and operated by John B. McKinney. Although signage on the storefront welcomed customers to a Marshall-Wells store, it was also known as McKinney Electric & Hardware. Several large floral arrangements of chrysanthemums and dahlias also appear on the shelves.
