An advertising-sign collector's dream, taken in a bygone meat market in Lafayette, Indiana (undated, but we think it's from 1958). The photo was among a batch of negatives of local business scenes from the private collection of the owner of a long-time camera shop in Lafayette, which recently (and sadly) closed. View full size.
I hope the expressions on their faces don't speak for employee morale. Notice that only the first young man in front has a smile, and the fifth lady (counting from left to right) has a partial smile. They take their meat pretty seriously in Lafayette.
BTW, if you aren't checking the Member Blog, you're missing out on a lot of Shorpy.
