Shoppers at the Hillsboro Safeway
Title
Shoppers at the Hillsboro Safeway
Description
Black and white image of the interior of a grocery store. Several people shop in the aisles while others stand at checkout counters. One man has boxes in which to carry his groceries out, while another woman in the far right of the image appears to wear a mink coat. Numerous signs posted along the wall separating the upper loft from the main store advertise products and sales within the store. Cash registers and Toledo scales sit at each checkout station. Museum records identify this as the Safeway store in Hillsboro, most likely shortly after it opened.
