Foster Appliance Store

Description

Black and white image of the interior of a store with a wooden floor. Set up to look like a large, 'modern' kitchen, the display area features from left to right: a washer and dryer, an electric stove and range, cabinets and sinks, a refrigerator, and a chest freezer. All are the Philco brand. This photograph was part of the Herbert McMullen bequest. McMullen was a local photographer who, in addition to taking his own photographs, collected images that depicted daily life in the area.
