The title ties this 1926 scene to Chestnut Farms Dairy, though the record notes that the name comes from unverified information written on the negative sleeve. The glass plate was made by the National Photo Company, a commercial studio that documented business and trade events in the 1920s. Streaks and other blemishes from the deteriorating original coating are visible across the plate, so some fine detail is lost. Industrial expositions of this kind let manufacturers show their products to the public, often in large halls filled with displays and crowds.
