A blurry photograph of Harry Schmitz helping to fix another traveler's car that has broken down alongside the road near Bieber while Wilfrid Cline, Jr. watches. The car is parked to the side of the road and is viewed at an angle from the side and the rear; it faces towards the left. A woman stands at center by the driver's side of the car and looks down to rummage through a crate hanging from the side of the car. She faces towards the right with her back to the camera. To her right, Harry Schmitz (kneeling) and Wilfrid Cline, Jr. (standing) are in front of the car. Harry Schmitz kneels on the ground in front of and to the left of the front tire. His face is obscured by the wheel. He faces towards the right. Wilfrid Cline, Jr. stands behind him and slightly to the right. His hands rest on his hips as he looks down towards Harry Schmitz. He faces towards the camera. A dirt road curves behind them towards the left.
