    They all look hungry for business. I'd bet you could wander in there and be unable to resist leaving without having first bought something. I'd imaging their necks would be on the line if any of them 'failed' to make a sale. Shop assistant work was tough back then whatever they were selling, so I understand.

    I am wondering if they are two separate businesses sharing the same premises?

    It's difficult to avoid thinking of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911 when viewing this photograph. Hopefully, the "Rogers fire" of 1915 was nowhere near as deadly.

    Social commentary from the English "Punch" magazine. The 'faux French' caption reads: "Mais un monsieur qui pense lui meme tres beaucoups plus bon regardons que vraiment il est!" (Rough translation: Just a man who thinks he's better looking than he really is!"). The character in question may be a famous figure of the time, but more likely this is Punch identifying social 'stereotypical' characters seen around town, such as this business trader, perhaps seen as vulgar in his efforts to flaunt his wealth by dressing showily unlike the smartly dressed soldiers around him, something of a 'flash harry' type, with a phonetic knowledge of a foreign language passing for education. Or it may be a comment on how the French (the soldiers observing) see the English as uncouth of dress and speech? The lower picture now seems embarrassingly ill-informed, but was perhaps typical of the time.
