Description
Pictured is an unidentified female employee stamping avocados by hand. A conveyor belt cradles each fruit individually in "pockets" as they pass by her, making the stamping process easier. Behind her, a "No Smoking" sign is posted, and numerous crates can be seen piled high. The packing plant of Calavo Growers of California is located in the Central Manufacturing District at 4803 Everett Street.
