Description
Photograph of workers loading a truck with oranges in the middle of an orange grove, ca.1948. The large flatbed truck is in the foreground at left and is facing away from the viewer to the right. The back of the truck is loaded high with crates of oranges. The crates are labeled "S.F. Hgts. Orange Assn". A man is standing on the cab of the truck and is securing a rope around the crates. Two more workers can be seen picking oranges from large trees in the background. A line of tall trees lines the edge of the field in the background.
