Ruskin Farm Photos

Description
A large collection of Ruskin Farm Photos provided by the Dickman family. Pay particular attention to the photos relating to pre-packing of vegetables before shipment as this was, perhaps, Paul B. Dickman's greatest contribution to the farming industry was in the pioneering of Prepackaged vegetables designed to cut out wholesale middlemen and get products in the customers' hands more efficiently and quickly. These photos depict many aspects of that process.
