Description
Full title:George Shintaku, 26-year-old Auburn, California store clerk who was evacuated from Tule Lake and later relocated in the Chicago area, finds poultry raising an interesting and remunerative job and he works with several nisei and issei who are managing a poultry farm of 10,000 chickens at Arlington Heights, Illinois, just northwest of Chicago. In this picture are seen rows of chicken batteries in which are kept countless broilers which will be sold to the hotels and restaurant markets in the Chicago area when they are eleven weeks old. George is examining a particularly fine broiler specimen, while behind him Toyozo Hirata, formerly a Florin, California strawberry grower and from Tule Lake, is filling a water pan. Hirata, who was born in Japan, has been in the United States since 1903. All the American-Japanese working at the Arlington Heights farms are from Tule Lake. Arlington Heights, Illinois.
