Description
Photograph of exterior of Sparkletts Artesian Water Company, ca.1930. At center, the exterior of the square building is visible. On its frontal face, a single door and four square windows can be seen. Above the windows and entryway, the words "Artesian Sparkletts Water" can be seen. A similar sign is found along the left side of the building. To the left of the building, a chain link fence is visible along the sidewalk with a sign reading "Retail Delivery Entrance". A group of three trucks full of water containers can be seen beyond the fence. Near the sidewalk, a single man poses for the camera next to a delivery truck. To the far right, another man is seen sitting in a similar delivery truck. In the extreme foreground, a large utility pole stands adjacent to a wide street. In the extreme background, several small buildings along a road can be seen.
