Shoppers at the Hillsboro Safeway

Title

Shoppers at the Hillsboro Safeway

Description

Black and white image of checkout lines at a grocery store. Balloons and streamers decorate the edges of the room, indicating that this image was shot while the store was still celebrating its grand opening. Many of the men in the image wear plaid jackets, and everyone has boxes or bags in which to carry their groceries home. Cash registers and Toledo scales sit at each checkout station. Museum records identify this as the Safeway store in Hillsboro.
