Nice!

Those Shorpy photos are so cool!
Not only can you study all the items in the window,
I enjoyed checking out everything you could see in
the reflection in the glass! I especially liked the reflection
of the man passing by, and the U.S. Army Recruting sign.

I also liked the elaborate graphics on the box of thumb tacks!

Keep 'em coming!

-Aho!

I do see the man...he must be the photographer, as I see the legs from the tripod and the area where the camera may be.

Also, take a look at the 1901 Prang's Standard Alphabets book, top left shelf. It's in Mint Shape, Sweeeeeeeeeet!

And to the right of that is another book...Student's Alphabets (by Keuffel & Esser Co.) 1907.

Are those trolley cars (buses) I see driving by in the reflections?
