| In 1930, the May Co depicted its store in a very modern way, but it erroneously showed the original Hamburger's building as six stories. |
 |
| A different newspaper image was more truthful, if less stylistic. |
 | |
|
 |
| This image of the May Co store shows the store's five- story frontage on 8th street, and the 1924 and 1929 additions on Hill Street. |
