This black-and-white image shows a large, wooden barn with a painted advertisement on its front side. The barn has a steep, peak-roof design with a small cupola at the top. The signage on the barn reads:

"The Ranch
SERVICE STATION
CHEW MAIL POUCH TOBACCO
TREAT YOURSELF TO THE BEST"

Above the text is a painted image of a man wearing a hat, which is a depiction often associated with Mail Pouch Tobacco advertisements. Surrounding the barn are a wire fence and some smaller structures visible in the background. The landscape features grass and a few scattered trees, giving the scene a rural, countryside feel.
