DescriptionA large rubber tube appears in the middle ground of this image. The photographer's shadow is cast onto the foreground. In the background, running more than halfway across the length of the image, there is a sign painted on a wooden fence that is partially cut off in the image that reads "[G]reasing, Tires and Tubes, and Vulcanizing." On the right side of the background, attached to the side of a one-story building, is a hand painted sign that gives distance in miles from Albuquerque to various other cities. The photograph has a printed black deocrative boarder around the image. There is a handwritten notation in black ink on the bottom margin that reads: "25 X 3.85 Tube."
