Description
Men and women standing on the ground and the platform outside unidentified, corrugated metal and wooden buildings. There appear to be stacks of cans in the background as well as boxes labeled "C.P.C." (California Packing Corporation?). There are also full sacks stacked behind men on the left of the photo. "Chamber Commerce" is written in pencil along the back edge of the photo, possibly the source for the photograph.
