One sepia-toned photograph of a small delivery wagon that is being used to advertise "Reutter's Root Beer" which was produced and sold by "Reutter & Son, Wet Goods." The photo shows a left side view of the wagon which is being drawn by two donkeys and is stopped on a brick-paved street in Detroit. Two young boys are seated on the wagon and the boy in the foreground is George W. Reutter II. The donkeys, Maude and Mary, are both wearing large decorative pom poms on the tops of their heads. A sidewalk, houses, commercial buildings, and a storage area can be seen in the background. The photo is mounted on a black matte board frame.
