A women, two men and a child pose in a carriage hitched to two mules or horses. They are parked outside the Reed's Livery building on the NW corner of Culver and Griffith. A small sign by the door reads "Leave check for your baggage at office transferred promptly." A sign under the attached to the building reads "The Vaudie-Ribs Co.", likely the firm that painted the large mural-sign on the second story.
