Paper, Photographic
A photo of the interior of Alex's Candy Shop, specifically of the register area. There are dozens of wrapped baskets in the photo so this was presumably taken around Easter. There are so many candies and other products in the store that it seems as if patrons would have been unable to walk directly up to the cash register.
