Scope and Content:

Photographic print of the Harry G. Emmons' Department Store at 64 and 68 North Main Street in Concord, NH, dated 1915. The caption states, "Harry G. Emmons' Store 1915 64 and 68 North Main Street This picture shows the north section of the street floor as you enter this establishment from the broad Main Street entrance. The stairway at the left of the picture is the entrance to the large and spacious Garment section, which is the latest addition to this constantly growing store. The broad aisles--the perfect lighting and ventilation systems, and the most modern conveniences for merchandising are factors taken in conjunction with the high qualities and broad varieties of merchandise that have brought this establishment up to the high standard of efficiency in catering to the wearable needs of every woman in search of the best--yet at moderate prices. Mr. Gardner Emmons saw this print in 1958 and he had quite a laught [laugh] about the ribbon counter on the left, to-day not a yard of ribbon is carried in the store. Notice the artificial palms for decoration."
