Studio portrait of 6 women with the phrase "The Fair of the Fair" penciled in around the oval. Presumably female employees of the Fair Store.The group of three women at the left is identified as Fern Smith, Sara Bracken, and Elisa Morser. The woman in the center at the back is Madora (Madona?) Anderson.
Seated at the right are Katie Gamar (?) and Maggie (no last name given).
The back bottom right of the photo has the last name Craven penciled in -- perhaps designating this photo as going to Elmer Craven, who was an owner of the Fair Store.
All of the women wear highnecked dresses or blouses. Their dresses have pintucks or lace for decoration, and most wear a brooch at their neck. Several wear a Gibson-girl-adjacent sort of hairstyle with a high bun.
