Copy of customer print, ordered by Nalley's on December 6, 1974. Stacked on pallets are rows of Nalley's canned goods. This undated photograph was believed to be taken within Nalley's new food processing center in Modesto, California. The cannery went into operation in mid-1971. Empty cans would be automatically depalletized at the rate of 500 cans a minute and receive a final sterilization before being filled. Cans would be labled, cased and then palletized. The warehouse capacity, according to Nalley's newsletter, for finished goods totaled 275,000 cases. (Nalley's Nallevents, June-July, 1971)
