From around 1952, what looks to be somewhere in the Northeast, comes this faded 120 Ektachrome of a Cities Service

Washington, D.C., 1920. "Nation's Business." A photo made by Harris & Ewing for that magazine, giving an unusually

this establishment offering combustibles and comestibles. Medium format negative by Dorothea Lange.
