Image includes the Elks Building, Liberty Drug Co., Hotel Gray, Typewriter Sales & Service, Western Union, National Bank of Commerce, and Axland-O'Hare men's clothing. Liberty Drug was on the corner of Wishkah and Broadway. The National Bank of Commerce was on the corner of I St. and Wishkah.
And thanks also to Sam Talley, who adds this story: "Next to Tom Birk's Drugs [just out of this picture to the left across the street from the Elks Building] was a small hole-in-the-wall lunch counter named Nell's Lunch. Just to the right of it was a phone booth, visible at the left edge of this photo. If you deposited a dime and quickly pushed the coin return, you would get the dime returned and your call would go through. All the kids knew about this. Also note the traffic signals had only red and green lights -- no amber."
