Description
Photograph of workers bottling olive oil, San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, ca.1900. The room's roof is comprised of a framework of horizontal wooden beams supported by rows of wooden posts. To the left are rows of metallic barrels lines up on pallets or some type of wooden structure. The barrels are covered with cloths. At right are cylindrical vats(?) situated on top of tall wooden tables. In the center is a worktable where three men are seen processing the olive oil (or running test on the olive oil?). Several different types of contraption are on or near the table. The men appear to be transferring olive oil from larger containers to the smaller glass bottle containers. Several crates of bottled olive oil sit on the left side of the table. Labels on the bottles of olive oil reads: "Sylmar Brand olive oil, California pure, the olive from which this oil is made were grown and the product manufactured at their grove at Fernando, Cal., and the contents guaranteed absolutely pure by Los Angeles Olive Growers Association.
