Description
Photograph of the interior of a packing house for Covina Oranges in Covina, California. About 8 women are standing in a line around two sides of a raised platform on which there is a sorting machine, each holding a crate. A group of about 20 women are visible further back standing around a table where crates are packed. About 20 other people are present standing or sitting near piles of crates and pallets. The wooden rafters of the plant are visible overhead. The wooden floor is littered with packing paper[?]. The crates read: "Covina Oranges, Citrus Exchange".
