20-lb. sacks of potatoes are being bagged for Market Basket stores by workers at Consolidated Fruit & Produce in late January of 1958. The Scotty potatoes apparently arrive at the packing plant in burlap bags. They are then placed on an assembly line, sorted and loaded onto a machine which will convey the spuds into a scoop which will dump them into plastic bags. View of Consolidated Fruit & Produce's plant showing three employees in the potato packing area; bags of potatoes are piled high near them. Photograph ordered by Dobeckman Co.
