Pictured here is the brick Pacific Outfitting department store located at the southeast corner of Broadway and Pacific Avenue. The building has wrap around display windows showing men's and women's apparel. Above the windows, there is a wide border of decorative tiles. A base of decorative marble is below, and between, the windows. Signs in the windows at right read: "Clearance Sale; $31.75, Suits and Topcoats; One Dollar Down." Two lamps top the streetlight pole visible in the central foreground. The street signs are also mounted on the same pole. At far right in this print, a barber pole sits against the wall on the sidewalk. At far left along the edge of the print, a young paperboy in overalls holds newspapers under one arm as he stands watching the photographer. A hotel sign is noted in the upper right corner of the image. DATE NOTES: Noted on image back. ORIG. IMAGE: 8" x 10" B&W glossy print. NEGATIVE: Yes.
