Description

Content Description: The Howard Hardware store was once located at 101 E. Hubbard Street. The hanging electric lights, the tea table to the left, the double row of "air-tight" stoves ranks down the center aisle and the three-piece suits won by the men, all strongly suggest that the photograph was taken in the early twentieth century. The dimness of the photograph not only makes discerning further items on sale difficult, but probably reflects the store itself. People, at the time the photograph was taken, were accustomed to much lower levels of illumination that we moderns [2018] are. Persons identified in picture are: Helen Howard, Flora Howard, A. L. Howard and one unidentified person.
