Store Products, 1977. These nine black and white contact print strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were created using three separate film rolls, so some of the physical numbers on the strips are repeated. For the purposes of this description, these strips will be grouped according to the film roll from which they originally came. Each group will be assigned a lower-case letter to go along with the physical numbers on the strips (ex: 1a, 2a, 3a, 1b, 2b, 3b, etc.) to help differentiate between images.
The images in group "a" show various home-use goods and appliances on shelves in a store. The store is likely a Sears. Image 7a shows what appear to be two pressure cookers or crock pots and an electric waffle iron on a shelf. Partially visible on the shelf above these items are two more crock pots or deep fryers.
