Black & white silent amateur footage of family and business activities of Setsuo Aratani (1885-1940), filmed 1926-1940.

This brief segment (00:15; emulsion damaged) shows a bungalow court ("Ruth Court"); a woman in an apron stands on the front step of a house, near a car; she walks through the yard to take a paper handed to her by a man passing through the gate.
