Description
Photograph of an interior view of Imperial Super Market showing a woman with a grocery basket shopping Vermont Avenue and 6th Street, May 10, 1941. A dark-haired woman in a light-colored jacket and hat is pushing a wicker basket that is sitting on top of what appears to be a metal stand on wheels down aisle B. She is reaching for a beverage. To the left of her is aisle "C" stocked with dog food. Behind her the aisles that are visible show canned goods and breads. In the distance there are signs for Van de Kamp's Bakers and Ice cream.
