Summary

Rundle Street, Adelaide, south side, on the east corner of Bent Street. It is a cloudy day with smoke from chimneys adding to the gloom. The business on the left is the Red Bird Bicycle Depot. On the side of Butler's store are bills advertising the following: Terai and Amgoorie Teas, Whitelaw's Wallpaper, Wolfe's Schnapps, Fauldings Milk Emulsion and Cod Liver Oil, Crawford's Whisky, Colman's Azure Blue, Bonnington's Irish Moss, and Lion Coffee. A sign for A.E. Press, Livery Stables, advertises 'Horses and Traps on Hire from 5 shillings per day', and promises that 'horses [are] broken in quietly'. There is an advertisement for Bates' Salve: "best thing out of Gaol". The Salve was manufactured by William Bates in Norwood and Adelaide, and distrubuted Australia wide, and also used by Diggers in Gallipoli. Note the horse tram tracks.
