DescriptionFive men stand in front of a store in a brick commercial building. Some have beards or mustaches. A park bench is at the left and stone urns and stone and metal posts are at the right. One of the urns has a price [?] tag on it. The sign on the storefront reads: "Carpenter & Fowler." A sign on a step reads: "Valentine's Patent / Felt Weather Strip / Keeps out the cold / sold here." At the far left appears to be a display of portrait photographs.
