View down street towards two buildings in the background that are part of the Aluminum Goods Manufacturing Company, makers of Mirro cookware. The buildings are identified by signage on two rooftop water towers on the building on the right. The building on the left features a central clock tower. In the foreground is a service station with a long overhang and gas pumps with crown tops. A Coca-Cola sign identifies the business as Vandersteen's Standard Service. There are two boys near the gas pumps, and an older man in a suit is standing on the sidewalk.
