Area businesses, unknown dates. These eleven black and white film negative strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These strips mostly appear to be from separate film rolls, so some of the physical numbers on the strips are repeated. For the purposes of this description, each strip will be treated as its own group, and each group will be assigned a lower case letter to accompany its physical number when identifying each image (ex: 17a, 17b, 17c, etc.). The strip designated as "a" shows a man holding a pan of sticky buns in a bakery. Image 43a shows the man holding the pan of sticky buns and looking toward the camera. Images 44a-2a are nearly identical. Image 3a is very similar to the previous four images, but here the man is looking down at the sticky buns, The strip designated as "b" shows two women standing in a clothing store.
