View down Main Street lined with shops. Cars are sporadically parked along the curbs. There is a hotel, the Fritzstoldt tailor, soda fountain and drug store, a cafe, a recreation parlor, a cigar shop, a chiropractor's office, and a shop titled "Nelson-Gilbertson." In the distance, there is a church. A banner going over the street advertises the Bloomer Pageant.
