DescriptionA man wearing a policeman's uniform, consisting of a helmet, a long coat, pants, and shoes, stands in a city street. He has a mustache, and a badge is pinned to his uniform.

A man in the left foreground carries a bucket. A horse-drawn wagon loaded with sacks is in the right background, near a trolley car with a sign that reads: "RAINBOW LINE." Commercial buildings with awnings line the street in the background. Signs read: "THE MARWICK DRUG CO." "THE / YEO / DYSPEPSIA / TREATMENT / GRADUATED HOME / SANATORIUM TREATMENT / For the Cure of DYSPEPSIA." "SODA" "WATERMAN'S FOUNTAIN PENS" "GLASGOW / WOOLEN / MILLS CO."
