I had no idea this place existed. The surprising thing to me, given the year, is that the clerks were men. Once the switch from counter to telephone was underway, most 1929 men were replaced with 1949 women. Didn't have to do with the WWII, just with customer facing.
June 30, 1929: Say it was early Sunday morning and you wanted to get some help writing a classified? The Minneapolis Tribune Want Ad Arcade at 4th and Marquette had you covered. It offered walk-up, in-person want ad placement and writing consultation, opening at 7 a.m. every single day of the year.
