Title

Unidentified man holding Mother Parry's Home Cafe sandwich board

Description

Black and white image of an unidentified man wearing dark clothing and a light-colored, Herringbone-patterned cardigan, standing on the sidewalk behind a sandwich board. The board advertises 'Mother Parry's Home Cafe, All Meals 15 [cents] and 20 [cents] including Bread, Butter, Mean, Potatoes, Coffee or Buttermilk, Dessert.' Other meals and specials are offered at similar prices. The man appears to be holding a smaller sign on top of the sandwich board, one that advertises 'Broadway 98, Black Day and Night,' though the specific business or product being offered is not identified.
