Note in particular the now-halved advertisement for “Pure-Clean Quaker Oats”. In late 1912, Boylston St. was widened and approximately ten feet of the Guild Building removed. From left to right on that side of the street are seen:

• 21 Boylston St.: Nathaniel L. Walker, carpenter
• 21 Boylston St.: John J. Horgan, horse shoer
• 19 Boylston St.: John S. O’Day, stables
• 7 Boylston St.: Martin Geier, hairdresser. The building at 7-11 Boylston was constructed in 1912 and still stands today.
• 160 Washington St.: the Guild Building
