A print of this glass negative was found in a photo album entitled Colborne 125th Anniversary Committee. Written on inside front cover of this: Reproductions of glass negatives and positives of Colborne, Ontario's past - early 1900's - belonging to Arnold Warren and the Wm. C. Griffis family. Developed by Wm. Bennett (cousin of Joan & Harold Harnden under the auspices of the 125th Anniversary Committee celebrating Colborne's 125th Birthday 1859-1984). Handwritten on the back of print: "Grocery Store where Laundromat is now on King St." A small tag near the photo reads: "V.G. Cornwal"

The photo album was unstable and the prints were removed and are now located in a print storage box.

The awning reads: Ice Cream China
