Interior of packing house, probably Covina, California
Photograph of the interior of a packing house for "Covina Oranges" in Covina, California. About 13 women are standing in a line around two sides of a raised platform on which there is a sorting machine, each holding a crate. About 20 other people are present standing or sitting. The wooden rafters of the plant are visible overhead. The wooden floor is littered with packing paper[?]. An important looking man with a mustache is standing beside a pallet piled high with more than 20 crates at left. A sign on the wall reads: "A.C.G. citrus exchange, California oranges, Covina".
