International Truck Loaded with Watermelons
| Slightly elevated view of two men loading watermelons into the back of an International D-35 truck owned by the the Redmon Grain Company. Signs advertising Hires R&J Root Beer, Coca-Cola, and Herbola are on the sides of a small wooden stand that holds farm produce. In the background is a railroad car, perhaps parked in the grass, and a tall industrial-style building. The original caption reads: "D-35 owned by the Redmon Grain Co., Hiawatha, Kansas. The load of watermelons shown has been hauled from the Kaw River Valley, a distance of about 120 miles. This truck is used for hauling watermelons about 30 days each summer." |
