Description

Photograph of the interior of a citrus packing house, showing crates of fruit ready to be shipped, ca.1930. At left are several long conveyor belts. Standing along side the conveyor belts are many women holding wooden crates. The women are pulling citrus fruits off the belts and putting them into the crates. A stack of full crates is visible in the foreground at right. In the background at left are several ramps that lead to the second story of the building. The floor is wooden, and metal rafters can be seen supporting the roof.
