EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Jack Delano captures a pivotal moment in the citrus fruit industry during the Second World War. Taken in 1943 at a co-op orange packing plant in Redlands, California, it showcases a female worker skillfully operating a machine for putting tops on crates. The vibrant colors and meticulous details bring to life the bustling atmosphere of this industrial setting. Delano's lens transports us back to an era when America was united in its efforts to support the war through various industries. This image serves as a testament to the country's resilience and determination during that challenging time. The cooperative nature of this orange packing plant is evident, highlighting how communities came together to ensure efficient production and distribution of essential goods. It symbolizes unity and collaboration among workers striving towards a common goal. As we admire this still image from history, we are reminded of the vital role played by organizations like the Southern California Fruit Exchange in sustaining both local economies and national morale. Delano's photograph immortalizes not only an individual moment but also encapsulates an entire decade marked by innovation, hard work, and patriotism. Preserved within the archives of the Library of Congress, this remarkable piece offers us insight into our nation's past while honoring those who contributed their skills and dedication during wartime.
