DescriptionFive men pose in front of a store with a sign that reads: "C.L. Kellogg." All wear hats. One man has a beard, another a mustache. Produce and canned goods are displayed in the shop windows and in boxes and baskets in front of the store. Asparagus, beans, cabbages, cucumbers, cauliflower, squash and turnips are visible. An Easter lily is in the window and pansy plants are on the sidewalk. Lamps are also displayed in the window as if for sale. A barrel and three large cans are also on the sidewalk, which appears to be made of wooden planks. An awning is draped over the entrance. Buildings on the opposite side of the street are reflected in the shop windows.
