Richards Oakland Company Service Department for Oaklands and Pontiacs Building at 440 Burroughs Street. A woman at a table in the foreground marks a small illustration using a ruler.

Artists work on three large upright signs in the background. A woman on the left works on a sign with the text, "Every Chevrolet Dealership Needs Truck Sales Management," beside an image of a man with his back to the viewer facing an audience. In the center a man works on a sign which reads, "3. A Dealer Who Needs to Employ a Paid New Car Sales Manager in 1941." above the stylized image of a microscope and a graph. On the right a man works on a sign thus far consisting of a curved line with a v-shaped end. "49320-5," is handwritten in the margin of the negative.
