Title	Exterior view of Roberts Public Market showing the delicatessen and produce sections, ca.1940
Description	Photograph of the exterior view of Roberts Public Market showing the delicatessen and produce sections, ca.1940. At top, a marquee-style sign reads, "Roberts Public Markets" with a "Free Parking" sign to the left and vertical sign reading "Liquor" to the right. The market can be seen through a large opening that appears to be at least thirty feet in length below. To the left of the opening is a glass showcase with a meat slicer above and a sign that reads "Delicatessen". To the right are at least eight produce stands with an assortment of fruits and vegetables stacked in rows and piles. Light-colored signs located near many of the produce read "7 for 10 cents, 4 for 10 cents, 10 for 19 cents". A man is riding a bicycle at right. A sign at the base of a pole in the left foreground reads, "First Prize $10,000.00 [...]".
