Scope and content
A large Dodge truck carrying a load of wooden crates covered with chicken wire is parked in front of a line of Pederson's Fryer Farms delivery vans. The driver's door is held open by Jack F. Kidd Sr. (left) while he has a discussion with Joseph (Jack) M. Pederson Jr. They may be talking about the chickens on board. Pederson's employed 88 people, including fifteen delivery drivers. The company, owned by J.M. (Jody) and Dorothy Pederson, had opened a newly enlarged fryer plant in June, 1958. It was a thriving business for many years; later the firm was sold to the Foster Farms Company in 1996. Photograph ordered by Pederson's Fryer Farms. (TNT 6-19-58, A-4, TNT 6-22-58, B-13)
