A vendor stands behind a stacked display of grapes, melons and honeydews, holding a cluster of fruit up for the camera with an easy smile. Produce stands like this were a common sight at American farmers' markets and roadside stalls through the early and mid twentieth century, when much of the fruit sold in town came from nearby farms that brought it in by wagon or truck. Images of vendors posed with their goods were often made to promote local growers and the markets that gave them a steady customer base. Look closely at the mix of fruit, which shows the seasonal range a single stand could carry.
