Photograph showing an unidentified woman standing outside a booth labeled “VICTORY GARDEN ADVISOR” at the Albina Engine & Machine Works shipyard in Portland. The woman, probably an Albina employee, is holding packets of seeds in one hand, resting one elbow on the sill of the booth window, and smiling at an unidentified man inside the booth. He is smiling back at her and is holding packets of pea seeds. A poster hanging on the inside of the booth door reads “Plant VICTORY GARDENS now!” The number 258 is written on the negative and is visible in the lower left corner of the image. Information based on the following unverified note written on the negative sleeve: “Albina shipbuilding.”
