Children crowd close to a man handing out watermelon slices, a scene that puts the supermarket's produce department front and center. The Waldbaum name points to the regional grocery chain that once served shoppers across the New York area, and in-store events like this one were a common way for grocers to draw families in with free samples. Summer fruit sampling of this kind reflects a wider postwar shift, when farm produce moved from open-air markets into large grocery stores, and promotions like this helped shoppers get used to buying fresh fruit under one roof.
