Description
A person wearing a "Love Canal – Another Product from Hooker Chemical" T-shirt stands next to a chain-link gate displaying a large hand-painted sign that reads "4 SALE BUY 1 GET 1 FREE." The gate is in front of a one-story house with beige siding and a covered porch. In the background, two other individuals are seen loading objects, including a mattress, into the bed of a green pickup truck parked in the driveway. The scene is taking place on a sunny day.
