Scope and content
Interstate Fruit & Produce Co., recently built in 1952, had large extensive coolers to keep their products fresh for the market. Boxes of fruit are separated in various stacks according to type. Calavo California avocados are sandwiched between Blue T apples and Gold Digger red apples. Boxes of what appears to be another brand of apples, Osage Chief, are stacked across the floor under an air conditioning unit. Their new plant had been constructed at a cost of $60,000. It had 32,000 cubic feet of wet and dry refrigeration. Interstate Fruit and Produce had been located previously at 2212 A Street for over twenty years; it held an open house on February 8, 1953, so the public could view the new facility. Photograph ordered by Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Allotta. (TNT 2-8-53, C-13)
