DESCRIPTION   Interior view of G & R Dry Cleaner located in Corpus Christi, Texas. Fred Russell, co-owner of the shop, stands behind a long wooden table in the center of a spacious room. Three large steam presses at right were operated by the belt and line shaft on the left, which was probably powered by a gasoline engine. This shop used a Singer machine for repair work, visible in the left foreground. Note the hanging rack of garments behind Russell.
