Washington, D.C., 1926. "National Apple Week Association float at Pan American Union." National Photo Company Collection glass negative. View full size.
RDown and I had the same reaction to this photo! Eerie!
The P.A.U. (now O.A.S.) has done a fine job. Now we have apples year-round thanks to Chile, Argentine and Brazil.
I shot that building about 10 years ago while in DC.
The Pan-American Union is now the Organization of American States (OAS). And National Apple Week is now National Apple Month.
Little did these guys know that in three years they'd be standing on a corner selling those apples for a nickel each.
