Description
Photograph of a view of Central Market, showing many horses and wagons loaded with produce, Alameda Street and Sixth Street, Los Angeles, [s.d.]. Throngs of horse-drawn carriages, shoppers, and sellers crowd into the large lot to either sell or buy fruits and produce. Many of the vendors have crates of fruits and vegetables on display either on their wagons or near it. There's barely enough room for other horse-drawn carriages to move around in this centralized market place. Utility poles line through the center of the lot. Legible signs include: "Theros Vlahos", "J.W. Beasley Berry & Produce Co., southern California berry headquarters", "Marston & Martin, 1244-46, 1240-46", "W.M.H.G[...], Western Produce Co., potatoes", "wholesale shippers, Adams & Rhodes Co., commission merchants", "H. Boogar, fruits, produce", "Richardson & Holmes Fruit Co., incorporated, wholesale fruits and produce, importers, exporters", "Union Commission Co.", "Altland Fruit Co.", "O. Darby", "California Vegetable Union".
