Photograph showing a man, possibly the public relations manager for Albina Engine & Machine Works in Portland, standing next to a flatbed truck with one hand on his hip. He is facing left and smiling. The truck is loaded with sacks of food, possibly corn. The unconfirmed note “Lake, Al / 9/9/43” is written on the negative sleeve. The photograph may have been taken on September 8, 1943, when Oregon farmers came to the Albina shipyard and sold produce directly to the workers there at prices below those in city markets, according to a story published on Page 1, Section 2 of the Oregon Journal’s final edition on September 9, 1943.
