A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts a long building with a cluttered porch and two gas pumps in front. A large sign on the roof reads “R.J. MOORE | DRINK Coca-Cola.” A smaller sign on the far left reads “U.S. POST OFFICE.” One person walks out of the building into the sunlight, while others stand on the porch.
