Von Tobel Sr.'s business partner is seen standing on a horse-drawn wagon on the left. Behind the wagon are stacked shingles. The lumber company was founded in 1905, shortly after the Las Vegas townsite lot auction, but moved from its original location on South Main Street when that proved to be "too far out of town" for business. The South First Street building was destroyed by fire in 1914. Photograph taken 1905?-1906?

The image was taken within the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad's rail yard. In the center of the photograph is a large crowd of people who have just arrived. To the left is passenger cars, to the right freight cars, in the background center is the first depot in Las Vegas, a railroad car. Photographer is believed to have been Ed Von Tobel, Sr. The San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad offered a special rate of sixteen dollars to those coming in for the auction of lots within Clark's Las Vegas Townsite. If an individual purchased property, the amount of the ticket would be refunded.
