Scope and content
Chunks of broccoli pass swiftly down the assembly line to be selected and packaged for Minute Maid. Women, all in white uniforms complete with cap and clear aprons, work in two separate assembly lines. Sharp knives are used to separate the broccoli sections. Minute Maid had been known for their concentrated orange juice. In December, 1954, however, they purchased the Snow Crop Division of Clinton Foods. This gave them access to the frozen foods, vegetables, and juices market. Snow Crop had a plant in Kent; it is unknown whether this September 19, 1955, photograph was taken there. Photograph ordered by Batten Barton, Durstine & Osborn. (TNT 12-1-54, C-4)
