This photo shows buildings and business signs in foreground along the west side of what would become Palmer's South Colony Way, partially visible in immediate foreground. Kosloskys General Store is at left. The white building in center has a false front and a gas pump and several fuel barrels in front of the left half and a car parked in front of the right half of the building with "Salley's Cafe" painted on the building's wall above the windows. At far right is a dark single-story building with false front and a barber pole in front. This small building is attached to the dark two-story Horton Building exhibiting a narrow sign advertising the "Valley City Cafe". The front of a second car is visible at the right margin of the image in front of the Horton Building.
