DescriptionThis image depicts a woman behind a counter issuing a light-colored uniform to another woman inside the Hilton Hotel at Second Street and Copper Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The woman behind the counter is holding up a clean uniform on a hanger in her left hand. Behind her is a large rack on which many other clean light-colored uniforms hang from hangers. A bundle of dirty clothes can be seen sitting on the bottom right corner of the counter top. The woman on the other side of the counter, facing away from the camera, is writing something into a small notebook on the counter. Two signs can be seen attached to the wall above the counter. The sign on the left reads "Hours Open. 7:00 a.m. to 8:40 a.m. 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.". The sign on the right reads "No Uniform will be issues unless the soiled uniform is first returned".
