Description
Photograph of people standing outside the Woodhead & Gay general store, headquarters for Milton Thomas Nurseries, Los Angeles, ca.1880. Sixteen people are situated in various position along the wooden sidewalk in front of the small Woodhead & Gay store. At center, a man tends a horse-drawn wagon while five children sit to his right and two men stand behind him. A third man is partially blurred directly next to him, possibly from motion. To the left, three other men stand behind the wagon, while four blurry others attend to luggage to the extreme left. An overgrown lot to the right of Woodhead & Gay contains the sign for Milton Thomas which reads "Headquarters of Milton Thomas and the Co-operative Nurseries and Fruit Growing Association Southern California Agency for Trumbull's Garden Flower Field and Tree Seeds.". The general store sign to the left reads "Woodhead & Gay / General Commission Merchants. / Fruits, Seeds, Plants, Trees.". A third sign on an unidentified building in the left background reads "Crockery. / Cherry and Willowware / Wholesale & Retail.", as well as "China Ware.".
