Local Businesses, 1976. These thirteen black and white contact print strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were created using four separate film strips, 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 rolls from which they originally came. Each group will be assigned a lower-case letter to add to 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 exterior shots of various Lacey businesses, including: a Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor, the Roundhouse Restaurant, an Albertson's grocery store, a House of Values store, Sambo's Restaurant, South Sound Bank, an Arctic Circle restaurant and a McDonald's restaurant. Image 15a shows a Baskin-Robbins ice cream parlor. A portion of an adjacent road is visible diagonally crossing the bottom-left corner of the image. Image 16a is similar to the previous image, but the photographer has moved to their right. No portion of the adjacent road is visible in this image. Image 17a is nearly identical to image 16a. Image 18a shows the Roundhouse Restaurant. A flag is flying on top of the building, a leafless sapling is visible near the left-hand edge of the image, and a light pole is visible near the right-hand edge of the image. Image 19a is similar to the previous image, but the photgrapher has zoomed in or moved closer to the building. The flag and sapling are not visible in this image, and only a portion of the light on top of the light pole is visible in this image. Image 20a shows the train car projecting from the side of the Roundhouse Restaurant. The photographer appears to be standing approximately 12 feet from the end of the train car. Image 21a also shows the train car attached to the Roundhouse, but here the photographer appears to be standing much further away from the building. Image 22a shows the same Baskin-Robbins location as seen in images 15-17. Here a dumpster is visible near the right-hand edge of this image frame. Image 23a shows an Albertson's grocery store. A parked station wagon is partially visible at the right-hand edge of the image. Image 24a is nearly identical to image 23a. Image 25a shows the Albertson's store from a front-on perspective. A reflection of the Albertson's sign on the building is visible in a large puddle in the parking lot. Image 26a shows a House of Values store. Many cars are parked in the foreground. The nearest of these cars to the camera is a station wagon. Image 27a is nearly identical to image 26a. Image 28a shows a Sambo's Restaurant. A coupe-style car is visible leaving the parking lot near the left-hand edge of the image frame. Image 29a also shows the Sambo's location. Visible in the background near the left-hand edge of the image is a sign on a store which reads "DISCOUNT FABRICS." Image 30a shows an ATM in a small, covered, concrete free-standing structure. Image 31a shows a sign for South Sound National Bank. A much smaller sign near the right-hand edge of the image reads "BANK PARKING ONLY." Image 32a shows an Arctic Circle restaurant. Image 33a shows a McDonald's restaurant. Three power poles arranged in a row are visible near the right-hand edge of the image frame. Image 34a is similar to the previous image, but here the photographer has panned to their left slightly. Only a portion of one of the power poles is visible in this image. Image 35a shows the same McDonald's location as seen in the previous two images. Here a person in a jacket is visible walking away from the camera near the right-hand edge of the image. Image 36a again shows the McDonald's restaurant. This image focuses on a small garden of small evergreen trees and bushes at the foot of the McDonald's sign.

Image 44b shows the J.B.'s Western Wear store. In this image, the front of the store is facing nearly toward the camera, and the left-hand side of the store is also partially visible.

The left-hand side of the store is not visible in this image. Image 2b shows the M.B. Electronics Music Bar. A car is parked near the right-hand edge of the image frame.
