Description

A black-and-white historical photograph from circa 1900 shows the exterior of a wooden corner building. A large, rectangular wooden sign mounted above the storefront’s flat-roofed awning reads "CASH GROCERIES" in bold, dark capital letters. Beneath the awning, a smaller arched sign above the entrance displays the name "A.M. BOSSEL". A women stands on the porch in front of the entrance. The storefront has a glass window and a central doorway. In the background to the right, another gabled wooden structure is partially visible behind a row of trees. Handwritten text in dark ink at the top of the photograph reads, "19xx.40.119- PIC".
