Scope and content
ca. 1940. Sepia copy of customer print ordered by Bud Merrell of Seattle. A number of prints were made on September 12, 1958, consisting of various grocery and department stores in the last few decades. This dark and crowded store may have been the Garrish Bros., Lynden Dept. Store or the Kildall Mercantile Co. Two men, one in tuxedo and bow tie and the other in dark suit with light tie, stand behind the counter. Canned goods are stacked behind the men and bottles and boxes are on the shelves facing them. The long counter may have been a lunch/coffee counter as well since bar stools are nearby. Pastries and cookies are in the enclosed curved glass case. Date of the original stained print is unknown, possibly in the 1940's.
