DescriptionA booth advertising farm animal food is shown. Signs read: "LAY or BUST Feeds", "STEVENS 44 DAIRY RATION" and "Park & Pollard HOG RATION". The booth, which is a substantial structure made of wood, decorated with American flags and electric lights has small towers with pointed roofs at the corners. A woman is visible within a "Cigar Stand" at the right.
NotesSubject Note: The booth is probably part of the Connecticut State Agricultural Fair in the fairgrounds at Luna Park in West Hartford. The architecture of the booth is characteristic of Luna Park.
