Image of a food stand on the beach, with vendors behind counter in Pacific Palisades, California. The cart may say "White House" above the awning (the sign is partially obscured). The cart has signs including "Stop, Let's Eat Hot Dog & Liberty Sandwiches" and "Hot coffee, Ice Cream by the pint or quart, Eskimo Pies, Cigars, Cones ... Drinks." This is a copy negative (a photograph of another photograph). "Pacific Palisades vending car on beach"-- note from donor Ernest Marquez written on envelope in which negative was received; date devised by cataloger based on general time period during World War I that the phrase "Liberty sandwich" was used instead of hamburger.
