Albert Scheibel, secretary of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, sits on a saddle on the ground in the left midground smoking a cigar in the tent of Jule Keen, treasurer of the show. Scheibel wears a derby hat, his vest is unbuttoned, and he has a scarf tied around his neck. Nate Salsbury, owner and manager, leans against a tent pole wearing a silk top hat and a checkered coat, holding a cigar in his left hand. Keen also leans against the pole smoking a cigar. He wears a vest with a watch fob dangling from his pocket. John Burke, press agent for the shows, sits on a wood chair in front of the tent, holding a card in his right hand and a cigar in his left. The tent has "Treasury Jule Keen" painted on its upper panel. A large safe is in the right midground with "Buffalo Bill's Wild West, Jule Keen, Treasurer Hall's Safe & Lock. Co. Cincinnati & St. Louis" painted on it. A wood box divided into 20 smaller mail boxes hangs on the back wall of the tent.
