The record names a business, Henno Sales Co., in Auburn, though the title comes from unverified notes written on the negative or its sleeve, so the firm's exact trade and location are not confirmed here. The negative dates to about 1920, a period when the National Photo Company was documenting American streets, storefronts, and commercial life on glass plates for a large collection. Herbert A. French gave the negative to the Library of Congress in 1947. Viewers should note the streaks and blemishes on the glass, which the record attributes to deterioration of the original coatings.
