DescriptionInterior of a grocery store. A man stands behind the counter. A woman stands behind a glass display case. Baked goods, canned goods and delicatessen are displayed in cases and on shelves. Bakery items include cakes, rolls, a jelly roll, doughnuts, and bread. Canned goods include Campbells beans and soups. Other products include "Pfaffman's Prepared / Food Products" "Noo Noodles" "Heinz Spaghetti" "Kelloggs Corn Flakes" "Raisin Bran" "Chow Mein Noodles" "Sprouts" "Toasted / Cheese / Dainties." A sign reads: "Free / Money-saving / Theatre / Family / Tickets / Given Away to all Customers / Come in - Ask for them / Now." "Ask your grocer now." An electric light hangs from the ceiling. The cabinet against the back wall may be an icebox or refrigerator. Sacks of coal are on the floor in the back corner.
NotesSubject Note: The photograph was probably not taken in Hartford and possibly not in Connecticut. The 1900 Federal Census lists Gruenfelds living in New York City and Chicago, but not in Connecticut.Status
