A bottom shelf rests underneath the table and drawers held by the table legs. On top of the desk is a desk pad with a pad of receipts or order form on it. The left inner corner of the desk holds an adding machine. The ledge holds a 4 x 6 framed picture of a sail boat, just above the adding machine and a contraption screwed on the back of the desk that holds a nibbed pen. The right most corner of the desk has a dark col., capped bottle that might appear as an ink bottle. Hanging above the the desk is a light bulb. The desk is up against a wainscoting wall with five clipboards hooked to it. The clipboards appear to hold files or forms. Two of the clipboards have "THE OTTAWA FILE", "The Eclipse Manufacturing Co.
