A vertical black-and-white photograph depicts two men in uniforms and hats posing in front of a cropped sign with text, "ELECT...". One man sits on a stool in front of a cooler with the text, "Wainright's | ESKIMO | PIES | 5¢," and his apron reads, "LE BLANC | HARDWARE CO. | HARDWARE & SUPPLIES | DONALDSONVILLE." The other man leans on a post with a downcast gaze, his hands clasped.
