Scope and content
ca. 1957. Copy of customer print. A worker in hard hat peers into a bin which may disperse food to the pen's occupants; he appears to be stirring the contents. The wooden barn is separated into several pigpens framed with plywood. The pigs would be under cover, protected from the elements, while receiving fresh air from the open, unglassed windows. There is a possibility that this piggery may have belonged to the Carstens Packing Co. Photograph ordered by Douglas Fir Plywood Association from 35 mm slides. The date of the original print is unknown; copy was made on September 18, 1957.
