The image captures a moment of respite amidst the busy city life as employees gather around tables adorned with checkered tablecloths. Their faces reflect a mix of exhaustion and contentment, perhaps finding solace in each other's company during their midday meal.

It served as a haven for pen enthusiasts who sought not only quality writing instruments but also various accessories related to pens and correspondence. Photographed by Bedford Lemere & Co. , this snapshot offers an intimate glimpse into the daily lives of these hardworking individuals.
