Photograph of 2 butane tanks sitting atop a flatbed dolly on the sidewalk outside the H. H. West Company's offices on Omar Avenue. The photograph appears to tilt downward to the left. The tanks sit on a dolly at center and are viewed at an angle. The dolly and tanks are on a sidewalk that stretches through the image on a vertical angle to the left. Behind the tanks, the office building for the H. H. West Company stretches across the background. Doors stand wide open at right. A chain hanging from the dolly lies on the sidewalk and extends towards the doorway. Behind the tanks, a sign in a window reads, "[...] LONG BEACH."
