Scope and content
ca. 1927. The Crystal Palace Market, at the corner of South 11th and Market Streets, opened to the public on Saturday, June 4, 1927. One of the largest "food emporiums" of its kind on the west coast, the Crystal Palace had 189 food stalls and 50 farmers' tables. All equipment was standardized and uniform, but each stall was under separate management. This photograph shows several of the fruit and vegetable stalls operated by Japanese-American merchants that were located on the Market Street side of the building. The Sanitary Market is visible across the street, seen through an open area behind the vendors. (For Toledo Scales.) (Argentum) (TNT 06-03-1927 p.1)
