Description
Photograph of workers packing oranges, ca.1925. A tube-like system which runs down the center of the lightly-colored work station sends oranges to large bins on either side. The women on the left where lightly-colored aprons and hats as they face the background and move the oranges from the bins to wooden crates which they hold at their sides. The women on the right face the foreground and hold the crates in front of them as they fill them with oranges. More women work in a circle on an upper level of the plant in the background at center.
