Louise and Friend: 1922
"Louise and flower-shop monkey" on a Washington, D.C., sidewalk. February 8, 1922. View full size. National Photo Company Collection.
The hat was a clue
The Louise Flower Shop, at Connecticut Avenue and N Street, is the only store in town [Washington] owned and managed by a woman. Miss Louise Daugherty is the proud possessor of this beautiful establishment, located right across the street from the British embassy and on one of the best thoroughfares here.
This is a daylight shop, fronting on three streets, with large window space always utilized to the best extent. Miss Daugherty pays a great deal of attention to her displays and she gets a great deal of good advertising and publicity as a result. Her bird window, with the live creatures flying around, brought large crowds of the elite to the front of her store.
-- The Florists Review, August 4, 1921, pg. 30 (includes a photo of the shop titled "The Proprietor Baptised the Louise Flower Shop with Her First Name.")
This is very likely a delivery boy for the store with a "walking toy" monkey.
