This is a black and white candid taken inside of an office building of people signing what appear to be open house attendance lists. There are piles of canisters on the table which appear to be souvenirs of oil canisters to be handed out to guests. Post-its on the front were labeled "Joan Arnold, Dick Judson, Paul Clerk for Pipefitters." The Wood River Standard Oil Collection also houses the sign in sheets located on the table.
