Description
Full title:The store front of the Toguri Food Shop at 1012 North Clark Street, Chicago, Illinois. This store handles a full line of groceries, vegetables, fish and meats with some emphasis on Japanese foods, as may be noted from the signs in the window. Mr. Fred Toguri is assisted by his sister, June Toguri, and by Masachi Hori, who had worked for Mr. Toguri in the latter's grocery in Los Angeles prior to evacuation. Mr. Toguri operates not only the Food Shop on the first floor, but a rooming house on the two floors above it and another rooming house in the neighborhood. He reports business as satisfactory. Mr. Toguri came to Chicago from Gila River in September 1943 and opened his store on June 1, 1944. Note: This picture is released for center use only. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Chicago, Illinois.
