Photo was taken shortly after this new building was built on North Garey Avenue in Pomona, California, and replacing the old building at 260 South Thomas Street..
My mother was employed as an insurance clerk here and she is pictured in the second row from the front, the fifth person from the left who is seated behind a desk and she has a white sweater on and wearing glasses...
I might also add that Pomona was a much different (and better) city than it is today at the time of this photo...Today Pomona resembles downtown skid row Los Angeles more than anything else
