The interior of an office with one man seated at a desk, flanked by a man standing on each side. The man on the right is in his shirtsleeves; the other two are dressed in suits with coats on. Two light globes are overhead. The floor is of linoleum. The date on the bottom of the photo is May 14, 1934. A note in the folder reads "August 13, 1970 Mrs. Abounonrad asked me to send this negative I found among the many pictures my husband, Walter H. Meyer, took over his 40 years of service with your city. It looks quite ancient--at least by the autos parked in front. Use it if you can; will send any others I find as I go thru the assortment. Sincerely, Marie Meyer. P.S. I found some more since I wrote this note!" [Note: The negative referred to is not in this folder. JM 6/2000]
