Description
B/W negative looking south down South Pitcher Street. Eighteen semi-tractor trailor trucks of various makes and models along with some of their drivers are parked in a neat row. These are delivery trucks for Hybel's Produce Company located at 217 South Pitcher Street. In the background can be seen one of the two old Kalamazoo Central Railroad Depots now used by Hybel's Produce. This image was taken in 1956. As of 2004 Hybel's Produce is gone along with the depot building which has since been demolished.
