Description
Photograph of two men drying apricots in the sun, at the E.P. Leone Fruit Company, Van Nuys and Sherman Way, in July 31, 1929. Two men with shovels rake dried apricots atop a wooden outdoor platform. The apricots cover most of the foreground, while bags filled (perhaps with more apricots?) sit in a pile in the background. A wooden fence lines the right, and a line of trees and utility poles stands behind it. A bucket and wooden box filled with apricots sits left of the foreground.
