Employees of Bennett's Sweet Shop and Soda Fountain

Description

Black and white image of the interior of a soda fountain and candy shop, with the candy displayed to the image left and the soda fountain to the image right. Two women in white uniforms with hats are not nurses, but employees of the shop in what was typical uniform attire for this time. Three men are also in the picture, wearing shirts and ties, and one with a hat and suspenders. Numerous floral bouquets decorate the shop. W. H. and Neva Bennett, the shop's proprietors, came from Nebraska in 1937. See WCMpic_013821 and WCMpic_013822 for other images of this shop.
