Sepia-toned photo of the Radner Beef Company's beef chill box, taken from a photo album of air conditioning installations done by the Detroit Ice Machine Company in 1937. Two rows of sides of beef are hung from hooks in the corner of a warehouse. On the right edge of the frame, a rack is hung with smaller cuts of beef. "28927, S&W," is printed near the lower right corner of the photo, corresponding to the description "Beef Chill Box," on the table of contents page (2008.039.003). The photo is mounted on a linen photo album page with a flap on the left hand side with three holes for binding. A "Spence and Wyckoff, Commercial Photographers, Detroit," stamp is on the verso.
