Scope and content
In this photograph taken for Nalley's Inc. in 1946, an unidentified employee uses a dip net to transfer pickles from a large wooden vat to a wooden crate. The forklift in the background will be used to move the crate of pickles to the canning line where they will be put in glass jars. For over 60 years, Nalley's produced pickles at their plant in Nalley Valley. In 2002 Dean Foods, the company that purchased Nalley's pickle operation, shut down the pickle plant in Tacoma.
