"Bonanza Day for Black's, 1925

"Taken from the corner of Second and Vine, Corning Bank Corner, a view of seven wagons of lumber from the J. W. Black warehouse at First and Vine.  The frame building on First Street was an early Corning business building.  Across the railroad the holly trees on Staley Park can be seen."
