Description
Pictured is an interior view of Hamilton and Bill's Market at 132 W. Anaheim Street, featuring the L-shaped, refrigerated meat section. Three male uniformed staff stand behind the meat counter.

Holiday Poultry, Best Quality." Canned Ben Hur Coffee is visible in the immediate central foreground along the edge of the print. Merchandise on display at lower right includes canned prunes, "Sugar Rusk Toast," "Melba Toast," and other boxed crackers. DATE NOTES: Noted on image back. ORIG. IMAGE: 8" x 10" B&W glossy print.
