Picking Oranges
Taken in Mr. Newcomb's orchard with a large, heavily laden orange tree taking up the entire background. Two long ladders are placed against the tree and eight persans are busily engaged picking the fruit, some on the ladders and others on the ground. One of the pickers in descending the ladder accidentally misses his footing and falls to the ground, adding a humorous incident. This picture is a remarkable piece of photography.

RIVERSIDE James H. White, representing the Edison company, was in Riverside recently, and was taken to the packing-house of Riverside Heights, Nº 10, by A. S. White, and got some splendid views of the packers at work. The process by which these views are taken is little short of marvelous. In thirty seconds 1800 pictures can be taken, and Mr. White announces that the conditions were very favorable to securing some very choice "living pictures" of an important feature of orange industry in Southern California, Mr. White is taking a series of interesting scenes representing like and industries in Southern California. These views will be used in Edison's kineoscopes [sic] and animatoscopes, and will enlighten many an easterner in regard to features of life in the new Italy. |
