| Carl Venzke posted Loading spinach into refrigerator car in bushel baskets, La Pryor, Texas March 1939. Jeff Bransky It's been a long time since I have seen a real bushel basket. They existed before corrugated cardboard was widely used. A light weight container using a minimal amount of wood. |
Notice the baskets are stacked upside down. And they are lifting with their backs instead of their knees. Talk about back-breaking work.

| Carl commented on his posting Icing before loading Dennis DeBruler I just noticed the big block of ice on the right side of the photo. That is what would have come out of the ice making plant to shove into the bunkers. Someone had to chop one up to ice the baskets. |
