Full title:A typical scene in the asparagus canning plant operated at the Illinois Mushroom Company at Naperville, Illinois.
The company employs approximately 60 Japanese Americans. Most of the asparagus cutting done in the fields is done by the older
Japanese, or Issei. In the cannery, the bulk of the workers are Caucasian girls and women from the town of Naperville, but
as is shown in this picture, some of the younger Japanese Americans and a few older ones are also employed in the cannery.<lb/>
