Inside the S.O. Grimes general store in Westminster, Maryland, the cash register is what sets this interior apart. The record notes that the negative's jacket was made especially for the National Cash Register Company, so the picture was probably meant to show a working store with an NCR machine in use. Detroit Publishing Company, a commercial firm known for its broad views of American towns and businesses, made it sometime between 1895 and 1910, when mechanical registers were spreading into small shops. The 8 x 10 inch glass plate captures the detail of a general store's stocked shelves and counters.
