This black and white photograph shows a 4-H club girl standing in front of an open floor-to-ceiling cupboard that has six shelves filled with canned goods. The girl holds two canning jars in the crook of her left arm and is reaching for another jar with her right hand. This Depression-era photograph was taken as part of a home economics program.
