Shoppers crowd a market stall piled high with apples, squash, and leafy greens, with the vendor making change over the produce. Scenes like this were a routine part of American town life before supermarkets spread after the Second World War. Farmers and small growers sold directly to neighbors from wagons, tables, and open-sided stalls, so the market was as much a place to meet and talk as to buy. Pictures of these exchanges are useful to historians because they show what was grown, how it was displayed, and how buyers and sellers dressed and dealt with one another.
