This collection includes approximately 40,000 photographs by commercial photographer Ralph Morris, who worked in the Los Angeles area from 1939-1981. His advertising and industrial clients included department stores, restaurants, the automobile and petroleum industries as well as business executives. Also included is the Luckhaus Studio collection of architecture, fashion, the movie industry, sports and street scenes, images which Morris obtained in 1939. Approx. 8 people (mostly women, 1 man, 1 boy) are lined up at the long meat counter, giving orders for sliced or cut to men behind the scales at the counter. The room is decorated and a display on the cash register gives prices for "Vons" and a "Merry Christmas everyone".
