Unloading Bananas, From Ship Side New Orleans
Noted on the back of this postcard-
"New Orleans is the worlds greatest banana port, more than 700 ships arrive each year loaded with 25,000 to 50,000 bunches of bananas. Each individual bunch is carried from the hold of the ship to the door of the refrigerator car on mechanical conveyors."
