Scope and content
An unidentified man in a striped uniform stands near an International truck from the American Lake Poultry Local on September 22, 1927. Truck #51 has on its bed a display of chickens. A sign attached to the truck frame indicates that "More than 14,615,400 eggs are used to hatch the 9,500,000 baby chicks valued at $1,425,000.00 needed to stock the poultry farms of Washington annually." Eggs were indeed big business at this time. TPL-3223; G6.1-091
