Description
Full title:In the Ramapo Valley Cooperative Store which he now manages in Ridgewood, New Jersey, Arthur Sasaki is putting to use the experience he gained as manager of a wholesale produce house in Seattle, Washington, prior to evacuation to the Minidoka Relocation Center. Ridgewood is a town of 18,000 people, about 12 miles from New York City. Mr. Sasaki has had his present position since coming there in July 1943 from Madison, Wisconsin, where for several months he managed a department for a wholesale grocery firm. Mr. and Mrs. Sasaki and their 5-year-old daughter, Beatrice, live in an attractively furnished four-room apartment not far from Mr. Sasaki's store. He is a member of the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce and sings in the choir of the local Methodist church. He and his wife are both natives of Seattle and graduates of the University of Washington. At Minidoka, Mr. Sasaki was supervisor of recreation. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Ridgewood, New Jersey.
