These pictures of a bakery shop had the note “c. 1917 or 1918” and the names of the husband and wife who owned it.  I think it’s interesting to see how bakery shops were arranged, and there are pictures of the racks and “behind the counter” at this shop.

These pictures were on Kodachromes from the 1960s, when apparently they were first preserved on film as part of someone’s family history project. Donated to the Carondelet Historical Society when that person died with no heirs.
